The clay brought forth and lifted up from the wheel, her fingers curving and lapsing at the delicate lip. A cobra in the steaming reptile house, an ashen pewter cylinder of evident heft, undulates lazily beyond the smudged and mold-stained glass, then strikes in an instant, comb of teeth and wide-spread fangs laid out in a dark gash above the erect furl of its hood. The thudding strike startles the child, nose and pink fists pressed against the window. Her wails echo from the tiles of the dim, humid space as she runs away.
