The Lighthouse's Tale: A short story

Intro

This story is inspired by a song.

I am a lighthouse, worn by the weather and the waves.
I keep my lamp lit, to warn the sailors on their way.

I'll tell a story, paint you a picture from my past.
I was so happy, but joy in this life seldom lasts.

*************************
Andrew was born in my town of Wisteria

Cove and was raised learning the ways of

lighthousing under his father Frank. After

Frank died, Andrew took over the keeping

of me.

Every day he would clean me, repair any

damages, and make sure my light was in

good working order for the night to come

so I could warn the sailors on their way.
