That's a clunky paragraph with about a dozen declarative sentences and twice as many clauses to say "he tied the cord to the broom and threw it at the thing." Maybe it's good to drag it out a little, but it reads like something from a screenwriter with OCD.

Perhaps more internal monologue, to translate what the narrator-described surroundings into simple terms. I generally think more words are better in situations like those, as long as they hold the reader's interest, because they slow down the sequence and enhance comprehension.
