Lighthouse

On a dark, gloomy night, an old man is reading a book in a lighthouse. The town bar is cheering and he growls. He slams the window angrily. Bam! Just as that happens, everything goes dark. Everything is silent.

Quickly, he rushes up to check the cogs. They’ve stopped. He runs like a rocket with his tool box and sees that the bulbs are out. The glass has shattered. He panics.

He rushes down and opens the door. A very large light emerges from afar. Quietly, the village people get into place and illuminate the hill. The ship turns.
