A story inspired by this tattoo · fiction

Dear Kieran, The lift has been out since Thursday so I have been doing the fourteen floors on my knees, which Mrs Okafor says is good practice for church. Your box came with the bears in it. I have stuck the cloud one to the fridge under the Bingo magnet, the one with the pink pony riding the rainbow, the one you used to call Cloudy Pinky when you were four and would not let anybody else hold her.

I went down to the shops on Saturday with the bears in my bag because I could not decide which one was the good one. I bought a bag of those pastel sweets shaped like stars and a balloon from the Co-op that says Get Well Soon, though nobody on this landing is poorly. I tied it to the balcony rail. It knocked against the window all night like it wanted to come in.

Your grandad's bear, the big orange one with the heart on his tummy, is sat on the windowsill now. I told him where you had gone. He looked at me the way he always did, like he had heard all of it before. The sky in Leeds must be a different colour, you said on the phone. I looked out at the car park and the grey and I think you were being kind.

Come up at the weekend and bring the drawing. I want to see the little pony asleep on her cloud with the stars going round her, and I will have the kettle on before you have got your coat off. Love, Nan.
