LIKE A LIGHTHOUSE KEEPER

With only a candle in hand, she slowly made her way down. The old bricks that formed the foundation were weeping their white mortar.


She went directly to a crusty, old metal box where a wood-burning tool was stored. Then she climbed back up the creaky stairs in a trance-like state. The cumbersome tool was wound with a thick, black electric cord that swung in her hand with each step she took, like the walk of a lighthouse keeper holding his lantern.
