Romans 8:28 script on the wrist

Lettering · Forearm · Black and grey · Photo

A close photograph of a black script tattoo on the inside of a wrist, reading Romans 8:28 in two vertical lines, with part of another mark cut off at the right edge. The lettering uses a fine, flowing script with smooth, even linework and solid black ink. A stretch of gemstone chip bracelet sits over the wrist on the left, and the plain background is a wooden surface.

A story inspired by this tattoo · fiction

Ferris has the cleaver off you before you've tied the apron, then sets you to peeling forty onions for the eight o'clock watch. By the second bell your eyes are streaming and the galley smells of scorched flour, because the loaf you left proving in the warm corner has risen past the rim of its tin and slumped over the side like a drunk on a bench.

Ferris doesn't shout. He lifts the bread out with two fingers, taps the crust, and says the dough was never the trouble, the trouble was the cold draught from the hatch you left open. He says it the way the chaplain reads on Sundays, flat and certain, as if the sea had already arranged everything and only needed you to hold still long enough to notice. You want to argue. You have a list of reasons the day has been wrong since Lisbon.

Then the cargo shifts in the forward hold, a long groan through the bulkhead, and the lamp over the range swings and steadies. Everything in the galley slides: the pans, the sugar tin, the cat asleep on the flour sacks. Every one of them stops at the same moment against the rail. Ferris laughs, a rare sound, and says the ship has a way of putting things where they need to be if you let it.

Later, with the stew on and the onions sliced clean, you scrape the ruined loaf into the bin and find a folded twist of paper in your apron pocket that you never put there. The hand is Ferris's, small and careful. It reads, All things work together, and the rest has been folded under. You hold it to the lamp a long while, and you do not unfold it.
