Episode 304: Found Art

The twins acquire spectacular bruises on their upper arms. They show them to Terrastina with pride. Terrastina hides her alarm. How did you do that? she asks. We fell out of the bed, they say. Terrastina motions them closer. They are all smiles and pumped chests as they approach and display their arms, tattooed with a heady mix of purple, green, and red blotches. Terrastina examines them. I suppose there’s no permanent damage, she says, but you girls need to be more careful. The twins nod, still beaming. I have to admit, says Terrastina, those patterns are quite impressive.
