A story inspired by this tattoo · fiction

Ilse stopped at the cairn below the saddle and refused to take another step until I had counted the peaks out loud. Seven, I told her, though in the blue dark there were only the two nearest shapes and the white crown of the big one, the one the maps had named after a Habsburg official who never walked up it.

Her sister lived on the far side of that ridge, in a village where the church bell still rang in the old hours. The road round the valley had been shut since the year the river took the bridge, so once a season we went over the top the way the goats did, with a rope between us and a flask of plum brandy that she insisted was for the frontier guard.

The guard was waiting at the stone with a torch and a clipboard that was not quite frozen. He asked what we were carrying. Ilse unbuttoned her coat and took out a folded sheet of tracing paper, the outline of the range drawn in pencil, every ridge traced twice, once from her side and once from ours, the shadows darker where the rock turned away from the sun.

He looked at it for a long time. Then he handed back her passport without stamping it, and said the snow on that mountain was the only thing up there that had never needed a visa. Ilse laughed until she coughed, and we went down the far slope with the light coming up behind us, the white peak turning pink while the dark ridge still held the night.
