Deathly Hallows symbol with stars on a wrist

Fine line · Forearm · Black and grey · Photo

A black ink tattoo of the Deathly Hallows symbol, a triangle with a circle and a vertical line through it, sits on the inner wrist with three small five-pointed stars above it. The linework is thin and even, with no shading, and the lines are slightly soft where the skin curves. The photo is taken outdoors on a sunny day, with an e-reader open on a dark surface beside the arm showing a page headed Chapter Twenty-One, with a matching Deathly Hallows illustration.

A story inspired by this tattoo · fiction

The third milestone out of Quarry Wells had our initials gouged into it, and beneath them someone had cut a triangle, a ring inside it and a single stroke running through the lot. Nobody in our family could agree what it meant. Jonah swore it was a surveyor's mark. Ruth said it was a sundial that had given up. I was twelve, and I believed whichever of them was speaking to me.

We drove the old Salter road the summer the tank at the homestead cracked. Three cars, four jerrycans, and a map Ruth had torn from an atlas with no cover. At the fork where the road split for the salt pans, Jonah cut the engine and told the story Grandma used to tell: three brothers at a dry river, a stranger offering each a gift. The eldest asked for a longer life, the middle for a fortune in silver. The youngest asked only to cross the water unseen, and the stranger gave him a stone that made the river hold still while he passed.

"So what happened to him?" I asked. Jonah shrugged and flicked his cigarette into the dust. "Nobody says. That's the bit Grandma always skipped." We sat in the cooling car while the stars came out above the pans, sharp as pinpricks, three of them lined up over the fork. Ruth took a pebble from her pocket, the same grey as the milestone, turned it over twice and pressed it into my palm.

"Your turn," she said. I walked it out to the stone and set it on the lip where the ring met the line. When I looked back, the road ran empty and gold in both directions.
