A story inspired by this tattoo · fiction

Mrs Abernethy kept the wool shop on Tanner Row, and she never let a customer leave without measuring a length of cord against her own forearm. The summer I was twelve, I came in with a stub of pencil and a sixpence, asking for the cheapest thing that would hold a secret. She laughed and sold me a skein of black linen thread instead, the kind the cobblers used for soles.

After that I brought my dad's shirts to be turned every Saturday, and I brought her questions along with them. Did it hurt to be sent away? Could a loop of thread ever really end? She showed me how to draw the sign that looked like a figure eight lying on its side, then told me to draw a heart around it, because a heart was what kept the line from going slack. Her hand stayed steady over the paper. The lines came out thin and even, with no shading and nothing to hide behind.

The telegram came on a Tuesday in October. My father was on the Hull boat and would be home by Christmas, it said, and I ran the whole length of the town holding the flimsy paper up like a flag. At the shop door I found Mrs Abernethy had already pinned a card to the window, and on it, in the same careful black, was the heart with its endless loop running through.
