A story inspired by this tattoo · fiction

The lamp oil was running low the winter the black cat came up the rock from the boats. Keeper Tobias Wrenn found her asleep on a coal sack in the lamp room, a white ribbon tied at one ear and a scrap of oilcloth stitched across her chest with a bat on it, the way a sailor's wife mends a shirt. He never learned who had dressed her. He kept her because the gulls went quiet whenever she sat on the rail, and because the boats came home easier when she was about.

In October the fog came in thick as wool and stayed three days. On the third night the herring boat Kittiwake was out past the Scarrow reef, and the lamp's mantle cracked with a sound like a dropped plate. Tobias could not climb the gallery ladder with his hip the way it was. The cat went up the iron rungs ahead of him, her oilcloth cape snapping behind her, and sat on the lantern rail with her tail wrapped round her feet. Her eyes took the faint light and gave it back green, steady, out over the water.

She stayed there until dawn without moving. The men in the Kittiwake steered by her, and they said afterwards that they could see the black shape of her against the glass when nothing else on the coast showed at all. The boat came in on the slipway with the tide and every man aboard was alive to tell it.

When the children of Scarrow Cove asked why the cat wore a bat on her chest, Tobias said the bat was for the dark hours and the bow was for the people waiting on the shore. Each evening after that he lit the lamp, and a little after dusk the black shape would be on the rail, watching the water. One spring morning the rail was empty, and the white ribbon lay folded on the top step as neat as a letter.
