A story inspired by this tattoo · fiction

The ferry didn't wait for us, so I'm writing this on the back of the chandler's receipt while Mam pretends not to watch the slipway. You'll have lost sight of Eilean Mor by now. Don't tell me you didn't look back, because I did, and I counted to forty before the boat slid behind the headland like it was ashamed of itself.

Keep reading

Dad fixed the gate on Tuesday, the one you always said would fall off by Christmas, and he didn't say a word about it. Mrs Gunn keeps asking after you at the shop. I told her you're doing a course in typesetting, which is true, and that you'll be home for the Mod, which is less certain. She said that's what they all say, then gave me a tin of shortbread for the trip. I think that's how the island says sorry.

I found your old fountain pen in the drawer under the stairs, the one with the cracked cap. It's in the envelope with this. Write back with it. Write something daft, a shopping list, a rude word about the Glasgow buses. I'd rather have ink than a voice on the phone that cuts out every time the signal dips at the pier.

You made me promise at the door that I wouldn't make a fuss, so I won't. I haven't said goodbye, not once, not even to the tin. On the lid I wrote Thursday in pencil, the day the boat comes back, and I'll be standing on the pier with a flask and no good excuse. Keep your name on the envelopes. Your loving sister, Ruth.
