Matching stick figure tattoos on wrists

Fine line · Forearm · Mixed · Photo

Two stick figure girls are drawn in thin black linework, each with a small red heart on the chest and a simple dress shape. A single thin black line stretches between the two figures, linking them across the inner wrists. The skin is lit evenly against a plain background, with the black ink and red hearts the only strong colours.

A story inspired by this tattoo · fiction

The tin-can telephone had been Ada's idea, but the string was Nell's, a ball of red garden twine pinched from her father's shed. It ran from the sill of Ada's bedroom window, over the lane and the crumbling wall, to the sill of Nell's, and every evening at six they tapped twice on the cans to say they were ready to talk. By August the twine sagged in the middle like a washing line, and the whole village knew that Nell's cat had a habit of sitting on it.

Then the removal van came on a Thursday in September. Ada watched from the landing as Nell's mother pressed a box of jam jars into the back, while Nell stood at the gate with her cardigan buttoned wrong, holding her can against her chest. Neither of them said goodbye properly. Nell just lifted her hand, and Ada lifted hers, and the van turned out of Orchard Close with the string still humming behind it.

That evening at six, Ada tapped twice anyway. The string was taut for the first time all summer, pulled tight across the empty lane, and the can at the far end sat on a sill in a house with its curtains gone. She held her ear to the tin and heard nothing but wind moving through the pear tree. She didn't cut the line. She tied a small red knot in the middle, so that whenever either of them looked out, they would know exactly where the halfway point was.

Forty years later, Ada still keeps the can on her windowsill. The knot has faded to pink and the twine has gone grey, but she still taps twice at six, and some evenings, when the lane is quiet, she swears the tin taps back.
