The Lighthouse Keeper

I stay on the dock watching. The light flashes. Flashes again. Then—it stops. Everything dark for 30 seconds. Then it starts again. Slower this time. Like... Morse code.
The Morse code spells out: S-T-A-Y. Then again: S-T-A-Y. And I'm standing on the dock at midnight realizing something is actively using that light to *communicate*. And it's telling me not to leave.

The light spells another message: H-E-L-P. It flashes H-E-L-P over and over into the dark water. And my phone buzzes—a news alert. 'MISSING PERSON: Woman, 28, vanished from lighthouse area.' The photo is from 1987.
