A woman talented in the art of spinning—creating pottery by manipulating clay in her mouth—longs to become the best, but wonders if it is worth the sacrifices she must make...

1 edition

When winning a competition may not give you what you expect.

Set in a world where people spin clay plates using their mouths, and produce patterns on the plate using ink pouches in their mouths, one artist has the opportunity to become a famous plate spinner. But to do it, he has to join a competition and become one of the winners. During the competition, he sees the results it has on those who did not make it, and starts to have second thoughts. But the lure of winning may prove to be too much to overcome.
