At Garrick’s well
The Tally Board
A slab of weathered oak where villagers chalk favours owed rather than money. The board has never been fully blank in living memory.
- Byrne owes Ackerly a cartwheel
- Harrow owes the shrine a Sunday
- Garrick owes Ferrow two skins of cider
For now the chalk lives in this file. A proper board - add, settle, never wipe - is the next thing built.
