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.
