In my grandparents house there was a tooth. It was large with an etching of a ship on it. I was fascinated, i remember picking it up and feeling its weight, how smooth it was. My grandfather had been an engineer on a whaling ship. I was drawn between the fascination with the tooth and the horror of how it came to be in my grandfathers possession.
