A story inspired by this tattoo · fiction

Dolly Harrower pinned the sixth sheet to the lamp-room wall just as the cage bell started up the shaft. Six drawings in a row, each a heavy black sign of the zodiac with flowers climbing round it: sweet pea for Aries, morning glory for Taurus, lily of the valley for Gemini. Her grandmother had sketched them in pencil on the back of an old wages slip, and Dolly had coloured them in with the stubs of her mother's crayons.

Nobody in Halfway Row believed the stars had any say over coal. Dolly's father said so at the table every night, his sleeves still grey to the elbow. But the spoil heap behind the chapel had gone pink with sweet pea that spring, then blue with morning glory, and nobody had sown a seed there. Mrs Coulson said it was the old pit soil remembering. Dolly suspected it was only wind and luck, the way most good things in Halfway Row arrived.

Tom Ashby, the lamp-room man, came in wiping his hands and stopped at the wall. He traced the lotus on the bottom row with one finger, the one that looked like a cup held up to a lamp. "Cancer," he said. "My mother's sign. She'd have liked a flower for it." He didn't ask where the drawings had come from. He only asked Dolly to hang the Leo sunflowers higher, where the lamp would catch them when the shift changed.

When the men came up at four, black to the eyes, they stopped in the doorway one at a time and read the sheets without a word. Dolly waited for someone to laugh. Nobody did. Outside, the heap went on flowering in the rain, and the last sheet stayed pinned where Tom had asked, the sunflowers catching the light.
