It Takes Time

On Sep 91′ mom, dad, my sister and me traveled to Europe. It was my first time.
I remember going to Murano and having a fancy pants glass maestro turn a molten white/red glob into a snail right in front of my 17 year old eyes.
Must have taken 45 seconds to do or so. He let it cool, handed it to me while saying that since the cool-down had been fast (it usually takes more than a day) that it would probably break soon.
It’s 2009 and I still have it. The glass somehow found a fragile balance. It’ll break some day///
