"SON OF A BITCH!", Excuse me for my candor, but the light just went out and I have another goddamn problem with Henry!
We don't have any extra light bulbs because we did not prepare probably. Bunch of 'fuckin idiots. I am dreadfully sorry. I'm just starting to lose my sanity. Wait, what's that, oh my god there's a ship out there! There's a guy out there!
"Thomas we need to get a dingy out now, otherwise that man's gonna drown".
"I can't I-I just don't feel good. I don't think I can go outs----".
"Jesus Christ, just go to bed".
I ventured out there with the thickest rain coat on. I practically almost blew away; literally. I tried to reach for the dingy but it blew past the fence and over the cliff face. Shit. But I had an idea I grabbed the rope that attached the lantern to the head of the light. Tying it around the branch of the tree closest to the cliffs. Then it it was swing like there's no freaking tomorrow. The edge was too steep to catch and I fell into the ocean. Luckily the ding wasn't washed away yet so i grabbed the oar to pull myself onto the boat. I realized I would never be able to get back up the cliff so I paddled to the near by fishing boat. That I was trying to save. Talk about irony.
"HEY! OVER HERE! Sir please, I'm begging you."
"Who are you?"
"The lighthouse keeper I came down here to save you."
"What's your name?"
"The names Charles. Hear, let me pull you up with the anchor.
it was really hard to hear him over the the crashing waves, but I saw the anchor and went for it. I managed to pull myself on to the boat and we tried to come up with ways to try and get the attention of Thomas and the lighthouse. We soon realized there was no way to get their attention so we grabbed the anchor and poured gun powder over the top of it. And in the spur of the moment I shot the cliff with the emergency flare gun. Through the gun powdered anchor at the flare gun and ignited. It stuck. We climbed the chain as fast as we could and managed to reached the top of the cliff. We ran to the lighthouse door and jumped in.
"Think you for saving me. I thought that I was a goner."
"Don't mention it lad. I was just mak----. What the hell? Why is there blood everywhere. I wonder what--. Oh my god; Henry.
