Great story!

Mr. Eckstein's woodshop class. I remember making the lamp, because it's still on my mom's night stand. And I remember the term handburger - don't touch the power sander when it's on.

I had that lamp for years, though not anymore. I still remember I made it out of cherry wood. I’d forgotten about “handburger,” but it’s definitely in character.

"When the snake graduated to live rabbits, the ratula was no longer an option. A rabbit will not sit still at the end of a ratula while you ladle it towards a colossal serpent."

A rabbit will scream in terror when being stalked by a colossal serpent, though. A fact I did not know until the first time you fed the snake a rabbit. Did I ever thank you for that nightmare fodder?
