She woke with the vision still burning behind her eyes … a lighthouse, abandoned decades ago, now blazing with impossible light. The intrusive voice from her staticky radio raked her ears while it confirmed her fears: the body of the lighthouse keeper missing for all those years, had been found. In her trembling hand, sand from a beach she couldn’t remember ever visiting fell between her fingers.

  7. Oh, this is weird. I just finished a book where the crazy brother lived in a lighthouse but everyone thought it was uninhabited…except the state officials. They knew but were sworn to silence. 😬 Good one, Nancy.

    1. Thank you so much, Penn quit. I always guess who the murderer is and Bill always questions if I watch the movie before! I think I got my detective skill by reading all of Agatha Christie’s books. I’m glad you enjoyed this mini-story and Olivia’s song. 🎶 🥰
