The Lighthouse Keeper
mysteryEveryone6 contributors · 4 paragraphs deep
I'm walking toward the gate. My phone's losing signal. I can see the light clearer now—it's coming from the top room. The door should be chained. But when I get to the fence: the chain is on the ground.
I push the lighthouse door open. It creaks. Inside, the air is cold but fresh somehow. The stairs spiral up and up. And I can hear it: click-click-click. The lamp mechanism is running. Someone wound it recently.

A possible continuation
I climb the stairs. My legs shake. The lamp room door is open. The light mechanism is running. The switch is warm like it was just touched. But the room is empty. Except on the table: a logbook. Entries from every single night for 47 years.
