The tattoo reads Always in flowing black script, with the Deathly Hallows triangle, circle and vertical line forming the first letter. A fine-lined feather sits beneath the word, angled to the left, with shaded quills and barbs. The ink is solid black on a light skin tone, photographed in an indoor setting with a white surface and dark floor in the background.

A story inspired by this tattoo · fiction

The post van came up the lane an hour late again, so I had time to stand at the gate with this envelope going soft in my hands. Dad would have called it a fool's errand, sending paper to a man who answers nothing but postcards of the same grey harbour. Still, here I am, writing it anyway.

You left the spare key under the coal scuttle and a jar of blackberry jam on the sill, and I have eaten half of it out of spite. The clock you wound every Sunday stopped at ten past four in October. I never learned how to wind it properly, so I have let it be. The wooden gull you carved for Mam is still on the dresser, its wing chipped where the cat sat on it.

Last Tuesday a long grey feather came down the chimney and landed on the hearth, ragged along one edge, the way the gulls lose them off the breakwater. I kept it. I have tucked it inside so you can see it is real and that I am not making things up to get you home.

Come back when the ferry runs again in March. Bring the mismatched mugs and whatever excuse you have been polishing. If you cannot manage a proper hello, sign it the way you always did at the bottom of birthday cards, the one word I never once believed you meant less than the rest of the page. Nell
