A story inspired by this tattoo · fiction

The water gauge at Corran Deep had been lying for eleven days, so Ysolde Marr stopped trusting it and trusted her pen instead. She sat on the pump house step with the survey slate across her knees and drew the same line again and again, a shallow V with its point turned down, until the margin was black with it. Her father had called it the cradle line. Every intake in the old dome had one cut into the concrete above the water mark, and nobody living had asked why it pointed the way it did.

She walked the ring road at dusk, checking each sealed joint against the drawings. The drawings were kind. They showed the cradle line pointing upward, like a roof over the reservoir, which made the flood sound like something that would be sheltered. Halfway round, under a lamp that buzzed like a trapped moth, she turned the sheet over and found the original survey in her grandmother's hand. There the line dipped. Beneath it, in the same ink: Let it come to the point. Do not build against it.

So the colony had never been meant to hold the water back. The cradle line was a channel, a funnel for the rise into the lower sluice. Somebody had redrawn the sheets the other way round to keep the children from worrying. She ran the numbers twice in the cold pump house, and both times they agreed with the dip.

At first light she opened the lower sluice by hand, a wheel that screamed in its housing, and watched the grey water climb the concrete. It rose steadily and unhurried, and it stopped exactly where her pen had turned down. She sat beside it until the sun came in across the slate, then laid the pen beside the gauge that had been lying all along.
