A story inspired by this tattoo · fiction

Brother Anselm had planted the daisies along the north wall the spring the bell cracked, and by Michaelmas there were so many that the abbot complained they were eating the path. He let them stay. Each morning he walked the wall with a basket and a flat knife, cutting the heads that had gone over, and each morning there were more.

The miller's girl, Ysolde, came up the hill road with flour on her hands every Thursday. She could not read, but she could count, and she counted the flowers aloud while Anselm pretended not to listen. Three, she said once, pointing at a cluster that had come up in the shape of a fallen cart wheel. Three is a holy number, the abbot says. Anselm said the abbot said a great many things.

Then the frost came early, black and sudden, and the daisies on the wall went down in a night. Only three survived, in a row that ran down toward the orchard gate, each one smaller than the last, as if someone had been drawing them to fit a shrinking space. Ysolde came on Thursday and stood a long time without speaking. Anselm handed her the knife. She cut the three, pressed them between two slates, and carried them down the hill.

The following spring a letter reached the abbey from the mill, folded around three dried flower heads and a single word in charcoal: Enough. Anselm kept it inside his psalter and never told the abbot what it meant.
