ִֶָ. ..𓂃 ִֶָ🦇་༘࿐ Oh, Lonely Lightkeeper

Miguel had always felt out of place.

So, when he saw an ad in the newspaper for a position as a lightkeeper? Of course he took it.

It seemed easy enough. Keep the lamp fueled, clean. Communicate with ships and boats, watch the weather. General maintenance of the lighthouse- easy, right?

What he wasn't taught was how to handle an myth, only spoken about by drunk, old sailors, coming true.

They were as beautiful as legend said.
