A story inspired by this tattoo · fiction

Late August, and the Bramley trees at Hollin Farm were so heavy their props groaned. Nell Corder sat on an upturned crate in the lower orchard with a coil of galvanised wire across her knees, bending a crown for the harvest dance. The first one had come out plain, three points like a badly crimped pie lid, and her father had laughed and said a king should look like a man who had paid for his own boots.

So the second one she made with scrolls, curling the wire back on itself until it looked like the fern heads down by the beck, and she set a chip of blue glass from a broken jam jar at the peak. Her brother Tom said the queen's crown was showing off. Nell told him the queen had earned the showing off, and that the king could wear his in the back of the van if he didn't like it.

The dance was in the barn that night. Lanterns hung from the beams, cider went round in stone jugs, and when the vote came Tom was crowned with the plain one while the ornate one sat on the trestle beside the pie, unclaimed. Nell watched Tom wobble on his stool and the glass catch the lantern light. Then a wasp found the cider, and for a while nobody could look at anything else.

When the barn emptied, Nell carried the queen's crown out to the old Bramley and hooked it over the lowest branch, where it hung like a lantern nobody had lit. In the morning there was a single ripe apple caught in the scrolls, red as a seal on a letter, and she left it there for the blackbirds to argue over.
