Funny ending, but he clearly knows its a kitchen tool right from the beginning. I think that steals a little of the punch. If he got the noodle tool in say, a bag of other miscellany, then i think that’s more believable…
Interesting story. Couple of nit picky technicalities:
I’m not sure if you intend to mean ‘it is’ in the last sentence of the first paragraph: ’_it’s blackened…’ or belonging to it: ’_its blackened…’ – no apostrophe if you mean the latter.
At the beginning of the second paragraph, strictly, it shouldn’t be ’_There’s ten teeth…’ but ’_There are ten teeth…’
Perhaps these were intentional and I’m to silly to see why! Hope this helps :)
