A story inspired by this tattoo · fiction

The boat was already past the skerry when Nessa remembered the ink. It sat in the brown crock on the dresser, the same black her grandmother had boiled from oak galls and rusted nails, and it was the only thing on Hallow Ness that would hold a word through a winter of salt wind. She took the goose quill from its jar, tore a page from the ledger that counted the lobster pots, and sat down at the table with the lamp hissing beside her.

The two girls had been born on the same wet night, and the old women said a pair born on one tide cannot be parted by water. So when Brenna was sent across to the mainland to gut fish at the cannery, Nessa wrote the words on a flat grey stone from the beach: Soul Sister. Then she wrote them again on the lintel of the ferry shed, and again on the underside of the pier board where only the gulls would read them. Each letter she made slow and joined, the way their mother had taught them to write their names.

At every low spring tide after that she walked the strand and checked the stone. Most mornings it was bare and cold, but one April the letters stood out sharp and black, their edges still wet, and beneath them someone had scratched a little curl of a line like a wave. Nessa crouched there until the tide crept back over her boots. Then she carried the stone up the shingle, set it on the sill beside the ink crock, and went to put the kettle on for two.
