A story inspired by this tattoo · fiction

The ewes had been brought in off the top field since Tuesday, and by Friday Nell Harker had counted them twice in the dark and got two different numbers. She stood at the barn door with the lantern hooked on one finger and let her eyes adjust. Frost had furred the gate latch. Somewhere past the hay bales a ewe coughed, a dry bark that Nell did not like.

Her father had painted an eye on the inside of the barn door the winter he took over the farm, a single stroke of tar with lashes fanning out above and below, and he had told her it was there to watch the weather. She had thought it foolish at nine. Now she pressed her thumb against the tarry circle and felt the lines were still there under the paint, fine and even as the day he made them.

She went down the row with the lantern held low. A lamb lay in the straw, stiff-legged and silent, its mother nosing it without much hope. Nell knelt, rubbed the thin ribs with a sack, and waited. The lamb sneezed. Then it shifted, found its feet, and staggered toward the teat as if it had only been sulking.

When she looked up, the painted eye on the door seemed to be watching the lamb too. The sky was already greying over the ridge and the wind had dropped. Her father would have said that was the eye's doing, and Nell, kneeling in the straw with her hands smelling of wool and tar, found she was willing to let him have the credit.
