Episode 11: Crash Course

Terrastina paints children’s faces at the county fair. She quickly develops a following. A long line of children snakes away from her booth. I’ll never get to the end of this line, says Terrastina. Moz, pull up a chair. Mazolli sits down. Terrastina hands him a brush and some paints. Congratulations, she says, you’re an artist. Mazolli stares at the brush, then at the little girl standing in front of him. Terrastina whispers to him as she applies color to the face of a little boy. Ask her what she wants, says Terrastina. Just ask her what she wants.
