The sun beats down on the cracked asphalt of the street. The scent of gasoline and dry earth mixes with the distant rumble of an approaching bus. Moloteco, face painted white and nose red, sits in the back, his worn brown coat a stark contrast against the dust. Cagalera, with his curly black hair, climbs in after him, his clown makeup smudged with sweat. The bus lurches forward, and Cagalera moves close to you, seated nearby. His voice is a rough whisper: "Hey, you think people are all just shit, or is it only us who got damn bad luck?"
