Hebrew script tattoo on a foot

Lettering · Other · Black and grey · Photo

A close photograph of a bare foot resting on a black flip-flop, with a small black Hebrew word tattooed on the top of the foot towards the ankle. The lettering is fine and crisp in solid black ink, and the script sits centrally on the skin with plenty of space around it. The background shows red plastic and a dark fabric, and the toenails are painted bright pink.

A story inspired by this tattoo · fiction

Lost property at Carrick Road is a shelf of umbrellas and a cardboard box marked odds. On the last Saturday in August a single black flip-flop came in from carriage C, its strap worn pale where someone's toes had gripped it all the way back from the sea. I logged it the way I log everything: item, carriage, time found, condition. Condition was the awkward box to tick. It looked like it had walked a long way and was not sorry about it.

The woman who came for it on the Monday had a sunburnt nose and a holdall that would not zip. She knew it was hers before I had lifted it from the shelf. "The other one's in the bin at Hythe," she said. "I threw it off the platform because the bench was too hot to sit on." I asked why she had not just bought another pair, and she laughed the way people do when a question is more accurate than they wanted. "Because then I'd be starting again from the first one," she said.

I turned the ledger round for her to sign. She pressed the flip-flop onto her foot at the counter, flexed her toes against the rubber, and seemed pleased with the fit. Then she was out through the glass doors and onto the forecourt, where the taxis were lined up in the heat.

I wrote under reason for claim: owner identified, travelling on. It was the first time in eleven years I had written that line and felt it was simply true.
