A story inspired by this tattoo · fiction

The vellum was still warm from the rack when Prior Oswin found me with my face nearly in the margin. I had been asked to fill the space beside the Lenten psalms with nothing but a plain line of gloss, and instead I had drawn a lily, stem first, then the bell of it bending under the weight of its own seed head. Oswin leaned over my shoulder and smelled of wet wool and tallow.

He did not shout. Brothers who shout are easy to forgive. He simply read the words I had copied beneath the flower, the verse about the field that flourishes and is gone by morning, and asked whose hand that was. I told him it was mine, which was the truth, though the verse had come from a letter Sister Mildred sent across the mere before the sickness took her. In eleven years I had never copied a thing that was not asked for.

We scraped the lily away together that afternoon, Oswin holding the pumice while I worked the blade. What remained was a faint ghost of stem, grey against the cream, the kind of mark a careful eye could still find if it knew where to look. Oswin said the ghost made a better decoration, and I did not argue. Years later I sat in the infirmary library and saw that same psalter open under a lamp, the margin bare, and understood he had kept the stem for me.
