Victor's hands had two new additions of the bandaid variety. One was between her thumb and forefinger, and the other was on the side of her thumb. This may have to do with the linoleum block she was carving. (Hint: it did.)
The focal point of the carving wasn't the angels or the devils or the gazelles, and all of those were still mostly pencil lines. The focal point was the two spiders in the center, one carved out and the other not so much. The bottom half of the block had an orange sticky note on it that said:
I now asked my companion which was my eternal lot? He said, "Between the black & white spiders."
- William Blake
Victor flexed her hands, decided to give them a rest. "What's a phrase that bothers you? For me it's 'I brought you into this world, I can take you out of it'. Because, ah, that's murder. And what've you learned today?"
