A story inspired by this tattoo · fiction

Nell Garrity had the cats fed by six, same as every morning since the big top was sold for scrap in Doncaster. Old Samson lay on straw in the back of the van, his mane gone the colour of wet ash, watching her the way he watched everything now, as though looking cost him something. She carried the bucket across the lot past the dead generator and the bunting that had faded to the grey of old newspaper.

The bills had come on Tuesday. Ferrers, the last of the brothers, read them out in the caravan with his glasses pushed up on his forehead. Nobody paid to see a lion that dozed through the afternoon. Nell said Samson did not doze, he rested, and Ferrers said the difference was not worth a penny. She went out and sat on the step of the lion van with her knees under her chin until the light turned the field copper.

When she came back, Samson was on his feet, which he had not managed since March. His shoulders shifted under the mane and he walked slowly to the open door, looked out across the empty lot, and roared once, low and long. The sound rolled over the hedges toward the ring road. A dog barked. A lorry changed gear on the A-road. Ferrers came running from the office with his tie undone.

By Saturday there was a queue at the gate: eleven people with prams and folding chairs, and a boy clutching a fiver he had counted three times. Nell pulled back the ring curtain herself. Ferrers did not argue. Samson sat in the middle of the sawdust, mane lifting in the draught, as if he had been waiting all winter for someone to ask.
