Letters to the Lighthouse We Never Built
dramaEveryone5 contributors · 5 paragraphs deep

The next morning they hung a hand-painted sign in the village square: "Lighthouse Build — All Hands Welcome." By noon a dozen people showed up with gloves and ladders. By the weekend it was the whole town. When the lamp finally lit, no one could say it belonged to just Mara and Theo anymore. It belonged to all of Saltreach.
