Matching UFO and planet wrist tattoos

Fine line · Forearm · Black and grey · Photo

Two wrists are pressed together, each with a small fine line tattoo. The left wrist shows a flying saucer with a domed top and a scatter of small stars, and the right wrist shows a ringed planet with similar stars around it. The linework is thin and uniform in dark ink, with no shading, and the image is a warm-toned close-up with dark painted nails.

Nobody ever claims the things in the bottom drawer, so when Ruth Pennock came to the lost property hatch on a wet Thursday asking after a sketchbook, I already knew which one she meant. A boy had left it on the 17:40 to Hexham. Every page held the same two drawings: a flying saucer with a domed lid and a ringed planet, each surrounded by a scatter of tiny stars, all in thin blue biro that had never been shaded.

"They're not his," she said, turning the pages with rain still on her fingers. "They're my sister's. We drew them in the back of our dad's car when we were nine, one each, so we'd always have a pair. She got on a train to Glasgow this morning and I think she must have left it on the seat." She tapped the saucer. "Hers is the flying one. Mine's Saturn. She always said Saturn was showing off."

I asked why she didn't just ring her. Ruth said her sister had switched her phone off at the platform, the way she did whenever she meant to be unreachable, and that the book was the only thing either of them had ever kept without argument. I found a stub of pencil under the counter, and we sat on the bench by the ticket machines while she copied the saucer onto the back of a timetable, badly, then better, adding stars until the paper looked like a night sky someone had spilled tea on.

The 18:20 to Glasgow was already announced when she stood up. She folded the timetable into her coat pocket, then pressed the sketchbook shut and handed it to me. "Give the boy his book back," she said. "Tell him the saucer went to Glasgow." Through the window I watched her cross the footbridge, lift her hand flat against the glass of the last carriage, and hold it there until the train took the bend.
