“THE FORGOTTEN
LIGHT HOUSE”
Amidst crashing waves and salt-kissed air, the old lighthouse stood sentinel on the
rugged coast. Its keeper, Captain Elias, had weathered countless storms, guiding ships
safely home.
One moonless night, a tempest raged. The lighthouse’s beam flickered, then vanished.
Desperate sailors clung to their vessels, lost in the chaos. Elias, frail but determined,
climbed the spiraling stairs.
He reached the lantern room, heart pounding. The light mechanism lay broken. With
trembling hands, he improvised—a lantern, a mirror, and sheer will. The beam danced
across the black abyss.
Ships altered course, finding refuge. Elias collapsed, knowing he’d saved lives. But as
dawn broke, he realized he’d never be able to repair the lighthouse. Tears blurred his
eyes.
Years passed. Elias became a legend—the Keeper of the Broken Light. Locals whispered
that his spirit still tended the beacon. Sailors claimed they heard his voice in the wind,
guiding them home.
And so, the forgotten lighthouse continued its silent vigil, a beacon of hope in
darkness—a testament to one man’s unwavering dedication.
Moral: Even broken, a light can guide others.
