Matching script text on two lower backs

Lettering · Back · Black and grey · Photo

Two people stand back to camera with their shirts lifted, showing small black script tattoos on their lower backs. The left tattoo reads Everyday for the, sitting above a grey waistband, and the right reads rest of our lives, sitting just above the waistband of dark jeans. Both pieces use thin, fine black linework on skin with a plain light background.

The wire had been down since Tuesday, so the message came to the Harrowgate office in two parts, eleven minutes apart, and I was the one who had to write them out fair. The first half arrived with the rain drumming on the roof: Everyday for the. I copied it into the ledger, blotted it, and waited with the pencil hovering, listening to the sounder tick through the wall as if it might change its mind.

Nobody on the night shift liked the Carrow sisters' account. They sent telegrams the length of a sermon and paid for every word twice, as if the Post Office might steal the rest. So when the second half came, I nearly tore it up as a mistake. Then I read it. Rest of our lives. Same hand, same slant, same little hook on the r.

I took both halves to the back room and laid them side by side on the trestle. Anyone walking past would have seen only a dull sentence with a hole in it. I found Mr Pallister, who had been a lineman before his chest gave out, and asked whether a message could be split like that on purpose. He said the Carrow girls had cut their father's copper line in 1891 so they could talk after lamps out, and it had worked for six years until a rooster got into the junction box.

I sent the reply the next morning. I put the two halves back together myself, in the right order, and added a full stop at the end.
