Gatecrashers - Gate 16

Gate 16 is The Gate of Skills, in other words "I Identify.”

Macca has hands like a docker’s — big, square, built for lifting. Not for this. Not for the tiny shuttle he holds between his thumb and forefinger with the careful attention of someone defusing something. Not for the thread, finer than a whisper, that he’s looping and knotting into lace. He has been doing it for eleven years. He will show you what he’s made. He will also show you the flaw.
He has never once finished a piece without noticing the flaw.
