Small rabbit tattoo on a forearm

A small, solid black silhouette of a rabbit sits on the outer forearm, shown in a leaping or upright pose with its ears raised. The image is a close crop of the arm against a blurred background, with the tattoo as the clear focal point. The design is a single flat black shape with no visible shading or colour.

A story inspired by this tattoo · fiction

At twenty to three the corridor lights dropped to their night setting, and Marnie Fell stood at the nurses' station turning a torch over in her hands, though she had no use for it. Bed nine had been asking for the rabbit again. Her mother had taught her the trick on a caravan holiday in Filey, two fingers folded down, thumb tucked under, a lamp behind it, and it had outlasted every other party trick she owned.

Joseph was six and had been on the ward since Tuesday. His mum had gone home at midnight to sleep for four hours, and the window beside his bed showed nothing but the orange glow of the car park. Marnie pulled the curtain halfway, clicked the reading lamp on, and held up her hand. The shadow leapt onto the pale green wall, ears up, then hopped over the drip stand like it had somewhere important to be.

"Rabbits don't sleep," she whispered. "They keep watch for the others."

Joseph considered this with the seriousness of a magistrate. "Who keeps watch when you go home?"

"The lamp," she said, and he looked at it as if it had been promoted. When his eyes finally closed, she switched the lamp off and left the door open a hand's width, the way the night sister always did. In the dark corridor, the last thing Marnie saw was the faint square of light from bed nine, and on the ceiling tile above it, one small shape still caught in the glow from the lamp she had forgotten to turn off.
