The old lighthouse stood tall on a jagged cliff overlooking the churning sea. Its white walls, streaked with salt and age, gleamed faintly under the pale moonlight. A single beam of light swept across the dark waters, a comforting pulse in the vast emptiness. Below, waves crashed against the rocks with a thunderous roar, sending spray high into the air. A small, weathered fishing boat, its red sail patched and worn, bobbed gently in a cove nearby, anchored securely for the night. The air smelled of salt and damp earth, and the cry of a distant seagull echoed softly.
