A story inspired by this tattoo · fiction

The Halloran Brothers' Travelling Show had been losing its audience for three summers, and by August the only thing still filling out was the paint on our faces. Every evening before the lamps went up in Stroud, I sat Mabel Crane on an upturned crate by the wagon step and drew her brows back into being with a pen of ink so fine it could have threaded a needle. The big top lights wore everything down by nine o'clock, and Mabel had never bothered to argue with them.

'Short strokes,' she said, watching me in the cracked mirror. 'Like grass bending the way the wind goes.' I'd learned that from Ambrose, the old tightrope man, who used to say a face was only weather that had stayed still long enough to be drawn. I laid each stroke in the direction the hair would grow, feathering the tails toward the temples, and waited for every one to dry before I started the next.

The ringmaster came round the back of the tent with a fistful of handbills, the posters so sun-bleached they said nothing but the word LAST. He saw the crate, the ink, Mabel's patient face, and stood still a long while. Then he took off his top hat and asked whether I could do his own brows, since there was no wife left to tell him he looked tired.

I did them. When he looked in the mirror he laughed, a proper laugh, the first I'd heard from him since the Gloucester fair. 'Now I look like a man who means to stay,' he said, and walked out to sell the last tickets with his chin up.
