A small black tattoo of an anchor with a ring at the top and a heart shape formed where the shank meets the curved arms.

A story inspired by this tattoo · fiction

Dear Tomasz, the tide tables you left on the dresser have gone soft at the folds from my thumb, so I have pinned them to the wall above the kettle where I can see them while I wait. The Marguerite came in on Tuesday with her hull scraped to the wood and nobody aboard wanted to say how far they had dragged her. Mr Oakes from the chandlery brought round the spare chain you ordered, all forty fathoms of it, and asked after you twice, which I took as kindness and not nosiness.

I walked down to the slip this morning with the dog and found the old anchor you never got round to shifting, the one with the ring worn bright by a hundred mooring lines. Someone had chalked a small heart on the flat of the arm, and under it, in a hand I did not recognise, the word home. I left it alone. Pilchard has taken a liking to the thing and will not pass it without a sniff.

The wind has gone round to the north-east, which you will say means nothing, and I will say means the herring boats will be late. Come back on the evening flood if you can. I have kept the lamp trimmed and the kettle warm, and I have stopped pretending I can read the tables without you reading them aloud.

Yours, Annie
