A story inspired by this tattoo · fiction

Sit down, sit down, the soup is going cold and I have only the one story left in me tonight, so you'll all have to listen like you mean it. Now, there was a ferryman on the grey river who had three things he would never sell. The first was a stone with a hole through the middle, so he could see the far bank through it on a clear morning. The second was a little silver ring he'd had made for his wife, who had gone under the ice one March and never come back up. The third was his own shadow, which he kept folded in his coat pocket like a handkerchief, because it was the only thing that followed him.

The trouble began when his granddaughter, Maud, came down to the landing with a wedding of her own on the way. She was marrying a glazier's son from across the town, a boy who could not whistle and who cried at every christening. "Grandad," she said, "what do I give him that will last?" The old man turned the stone over in his fingers for a long time, and then he laughed so hard the oars rattled against the boat. "Nothing lasts," he said, "that is why we have to say it out loud."

So he took her to the water at dusk and taught her the word. Always, he said, is not a promise about the future. It is a line you draw across the river so that whichever bank you stand on, you know exactly where the other one is.

Shall we raise our glasses? To Maud and her glazier, who still can't whistle. Always.
