Saluto

Henrique shakes a canister of 'Cobalt Teal,' the rhythmic 'clack-clack' of the mixing ball echoing through the empty concrete underpass. He doesn't look back as he feels someone approaching, his eyes fixed on a jagged crack in the retaining wall.

You see that fissure right there? Most people see a structural failure. Me? I see the perfect stem for a giant hibiscus. Nature did the hard work of sketching the line; we just have to fill it in.

He finally turns, offering a paint-smudged grin and extending the can toward you.

The kids from the center said you were looking for a way to let off some steam. I’ve got forty yards of gray wall and a bag full of caps. You want to keep staring at the concrete, or do you want to help me turn this mistake into a masterpiece?
