A story inspired by this tattoo · fiction

Dear Tomasz, the ferry came in at six with the mail and still no word from you, so I walked the harbour wall twice to see whether the Ardent had come round the point instead. She hasn't. Mrs Penhallow says the weather off the Sound has been foul all week and the boats are sitting in Newlyn until it clears, which is what she said about the summer too.

I went up to the chandler's on Tuesday for the brass shackle you asked me to fetch for the dinghy. Old Harker wouldn't take my money for it. He turned over the iron anchor on his bench, the one the Coles hauled up from the wreck off Bryher, and said it had lain under the nets since before we were born, waiting for someone to ask what it was for. I told him it was for keeping things where they are. He laughed and gave me the shackle for nothing.

So I have decided the anchor is ours. Every evening I have been drawing the figure eight on the slate in the back kitchen, because you always said the loop was the only thing you ever drew properly. Each time I run the chalk through the middle, the line comes back round to where it started, which Harker says is the whole trick of it. Come home along the same line, then. Keep the rope taut and the bight clear, and the loop will bring you back to the quay. Your sister has the lamp lit already.
