Episode 311: Before Breakfast

The twins find frost on their bedroom window one morning. They press their hands to it so the frost melts under their palms and fingers and leaves an imprint. Soon the window is crowded with their hand shapes. Terrastina comes into the room and sees the windows. Good morning, she says. Temporary art. I love it. You two are pure genius. May I contribute? The twins nod. Terrastina puts her hands on the window and holds them there for several seconds. The frost melts rapidly. Terrastina’s palms drip water, her face is bright, and her hair is gloriously uncombed.
