A story inspired by this tattoo · fiction
The stair at Harrowgate Keep had lost its top three turns to lightning the winter before, and nobody in the valley would climb it. Old Mab said the stone remembered every foot that had failed there. So when the miller's youngest, Tess Arkwright, said she would ring the bell in the broken tower for the Feast of Saint Brannoc, the village laughed into their ale and then went quiet, because she meant it.

She went up at dusk with a coil of rope over one shoulder and a lamp she had to keep shielding from the wind. The steps wound round a central post like a snail's shell, narrowing, and where the ceiling had fallen the sky looked straight down at her. She stopped at each gap and said the same thing aloud, not loudly, the way her mother said grace: I can do this. Then she set her hand on the cold stone and found the next hold.
At the top the bell hung still in its frame, green with weather, and there was no rope left to pull. So she tied her own rope to the clapper and swung her whole weight against it until the note rolled out across the moor and down into the village. Below, a dog barked, a shutter banged, and somebody lit a torch at the gate. Mab was the first to come up the stair, slow, counting every step aloud. When she reached the top she only nodded and said, 'Well. That's the bell told.'
