The Soft Wisper

As Michael looked into the night sky, he caught himself thinking about the previous keeper. There were quite a few stories about him, and what happened to him. No one really knew for sure, but it was something that made the Stoneyville Lighthouse a landmark of interest. Michael had heard many stories about the old man. Some say he disappeared, some that he retired. But, the most intriguing one by far, was that he heard voices, and went insane trying to figure out where they were coming from. On quiet nights like tonight, Michael would often hear soft whispers and creaks.
