The Lighthouse Keeper’s Secret

The Lighthouse Keeper’s Secret

By GoldenSpeechPublished 2 months ago 1 min read

In a small coastal town, a young historian, Marcus, is drawn to an abandoned lighthouse. He learns that decades ago, the lighthouse keeper mysteriously disappeared during a violent storm.

Marcus starts experiencing visions of the past, seeing the keeper’s final days. He discovers a hidden journal revealing a pact with a sea creature that demanded annual sacrifices to protect the town from natural disasters. Marcus realizes that the pact is still active, and this year’s “sacrifice” is imminent.

The climax is a tense confrontation on the cliff during a violent storm. Marcus must decide whether to honor the centuries-old pact, attempt to destroy it, or confront the sea entity directly, risking the lives of the town’s people and his own.
