Original fiction / A Signal in the Rain

Rain had silenced the radio on the harbour roof. Mika pulled her fingerless arm gloves into place and looked across the water. On the opposite tower, her partner was waiting for a signal. The rescue launch could not see the landing lights from below.

Mika raised one arm beneath the maintenance lamp. A long highlight followed the glove as she traced the agreed pattern: wait, turn, approach. Across the harbour, another arm answered. They repeated the sequence until a small boat emerged from the dark.

The passengers reached the covered pier just as the lamp flickered out. Later, Mika placed the gloves beside her coat to dry according to their care instructions. They were only one part of her outfit, but that night their outline had carried a message farther than a voice.
