A story inspired by this tattoo · fiction

The snow had sealed the lane to Hallow Farm for nine days when Mabry Coyle went out to the top field with a lantern and a bucket of cut turnips for the ewes. Her father had said the ewes would not last the week without them, and he had said it in the voice he used for things he had already decided were true.

At the stone wall she found the old gatepost split open by the frost, and inside the crack something caught the lantern light, rust-red against the grey wood. It was a disc of iron no bigger than a biscuit, pressed with a diamond, and in the middle of the diamond sat a single lidded eye. Above and below it a column of small arrows and dots ran off into the dark, and from either side fanned rays like the spokes of a cart wheel that had lost its rim. When she tilted the lantern, the eye seemed to open.

She carried it home inside her coat. Her father did not hold with such things, but he hung the iron over the byre door as she asked, and the next morning the wind had dropped and the sky over the ridge was the colour of a struck match. The ewes were found standing, every one of them, and the lane had a path trodden through the drift by a single set of footprints heading east, too far apart to be a man's.

Mabry never learned who had walked there. Every winter after, when the snow came down thick, the iron grew warm under her palm, and she set a lantern on the broken gatepost so that whoever was out in the white would know which way was home.
