- When I was eleven, my father was arrested.
My father had a ring that he never took off. It was a present from his aunt that he received on his twentieth birthday, the day of his biggest paycheck yet. It clung to his finger like mould, smearing a green circle onto his skin because, as he discovered a week later, it was constructed of copper. The cheap bronze metal started to peek from under the weary silver coating, he told me the first time I asked where it came from, and over time the beauty of it rotted away. The copper oxidised - that’s what left the green shadow on his finger - and the minerals were absorbed into his body. My father didn’t know or care that copper has supposed medicinal properties. He developed arthritis in his left hand, and he didn’t believe me when I told him the ring stopped him getting it in his right.
Engraved on the jewellery was a lizard. Its sharp head poked over the top of the ring, body curving down along the plain band until its tail curved round into an S-shape. It had dimples in its metallic skin where there were still pools of silver, where weather and sweat couldn’t reach to wear it away. When I was little he’d call it speckled, like a real lizard, and my eyes would widen in some kind of entranced fear as he lunged towards my face, the lizard only gently snapping at my cheek with its frozen nose.
And then one day, the ring was stolen from his finger.
I'm never going to use it.
