Fine line · Forearm · Black and grey · Photo

A close view of a forearm carrying black fine line tattoos. Handwritten script runs diagonally across the skin, with a five line musical staff, several notes and a treble clef at the lower edge. The linework is thin and even, set against a dark background, with no colour ink.

A story inspired by this tattoo · fiction

Dearest Nell, the lane is still under three feet of drift, so the coach will not be coming up from Keswick before Thursday, and I am sitting in the back parlour of the Hollin Bank with my boots steaming on the fender. The landlady has a piano nobody has tuned since her husband died. Last night, while the snow ticked at the window, I played it badly, and she stood in the doorway with her arms folded and told me the A was flat, which it was.

This morning I found an old hymnal open on the stool, its pages soft as cloth, with someone's pencil marks crowding the staves. Beside nearly every bar a little sharp sign had been added, as if the composer kept forgetting which key the world was in. Under the last line, in a hand gone spidery with age, someone had written: my mind is a room with the door left open.

I have been turning that over all day, along with the sausages and the cold toast. You always said I could not hold a tune in a bucket, and you were right, but I think I could learn to hear the sharps if somebody showed me where they go.

The coach is due Thursday. Tell Father I have not fallen in the beck. Tell him I have started a letter, and it is longer than he deserves.
