The Lighthouse That Guided the Dead

A coastal lighthouse shone even during calm weather, long after it was needed for sailors. Locals believed it guided lost spirits drifting at sea. A grieving mother visited it nightly, hoping her son would see the light. One evening, the lighthouse flickered gently, as if responding to her presence. She felt a warmth on her shoulder, like a goodbye. The next morning, the lighthouse’s flame burned brighter than ever — not to mourn the dead, but to comfort the living.
