The Lighthouse Keeper
mysteryEveryone6 contributors · 3 paragraphs deep
I zoom in on my phone. The light isn't just on—it's flashing at EXACT intervals. I count: 47 seconds between each flash. Every. Single. Time. That's not a bulb someone lit. That's a system running on something.
I walk closer to the lighthouse base. The wiring around the lamp room isn't rusted. Not the original '80s setup. These wires are new. Shiny. Maybe a year old, max. Someone has been maintaining this.

The wires lead up to a solar panel I didn't see at first. On the lamp room roof. Someone set up a battery system. The light isn't drawing from town power. It's self-contained. It was made to work forever.
