Lighthouse Stories

After a tragic shipwreck off the Australian coast, six students drift for days before being rescued by the enigmatic Silas Thorne, grandson of a remote lighthouse keeper. Safe within the towering stone walls, their relief is short-lived. While the group-led by the stylish influencer Aurelian-tries to recover, Silas vanishes without a trace, leaving the lighthouse locked and the radio dead. Isolated in the middle of the ocean, athletes Zephyr and Ronen join close friends Briar, Cleo, and Juno in a desperate search for answers. As they uncover hidden journals and mechanical puzzles, they realize the lighthouse isn't a sanctuary-it's a trap. To survive, they must solve the mystery of the Thorne family's past before the keeper's last light goes out forever. ✎A project for 21st Century Literature ᝰ. - all the pictures are from pintrest !

--- THE LIAR'S TIDE --- Elena Voss has been dead for three years. At least, that's what the town of Port Morrow believes. She wears the ring. She tells the story. She weeps on command-a perfect widow performing grief like a prayer she's forgotten the words to. But there was no husband. No accident. No tears. Elena Voss is a lie wearing a woman's skin-and she's almost convinced herself it's true. Then a stranger walks into her bookstore. He carries a photograph of a man with her face. A man she's never met. A man who calls himself her husband. A man who's been searching for her across oceans, through years, through the wreckage of a life she never lived. And he's not the only one coming to Port Morrow. The fog is rolling in. The tide is rising. And Elena's lies are about to drown everyone she's touched.

Matty Dove had 18 months to try and find a buyer for her late grandmother's lighthouse. A buyer who, she hoped, would not only buy the lighthouse, but love the village so much that they would invest time and money into saving the community. In 18 months, the Newfoundland government was shutting down Tuckamore Bay and all the residents were to be relocated to different parts of the province. With the uniqueness of Tuckamore Bay and its history and secrets, Matty felt comfortable that she could find a buyer. After several failures, a man by the name of Bill Williams did buy the lighthouse. Now all Matty had to do was convince the handsome young man to invest in the community and perhaps in her as well.

When Ash wakes up on his birthday, Eiji is already gone, so Ash thinks Eiji has forgotten his birthday. But would Eiji really forget his birthday? Eiji had always told him that it's important to celebrate dates like these, that he had been reborn and had been given a second chance, a new life with him in Japan. He had promised him he would always make this day unforgettable and special for him... So why has Eiji not planned anything for his birthday? Eiji has no poker face, so surely Ash would have noticed something? What's even worse, Ash had accidentally taken over a shift at the café on his birthday and couldn't cancel it again. Will Ash still be able to celebrate his birthday with Eiji? And how will everything turn out?

This story takes place at their second year in Izumo when Ash will turn 20. They're a couple for around 1.5 years and happy. But for Eiji his promise of forever means until death separates them. For Ash, however, it means until Eiji will leave him. He only knows abandonment and is convinced Eiji will leave him, too, after some time. All the people he loved did the same, after all. Ash tells Eiji not to celebrate his birthday since his existence caused endless deaths and celebrating it feels wrong to him. Eiji is sad about that request but still promises him that they won't celebrate it and Ash assumes the issue is solved. Knowing Eiji's stubbornness, however, he should have known better... Instead of celebrating, Eiji gives him a present by taking him on a little trip and teaching him what unlimited freedom feels like. And that isn't all. At dusk, Eiji plans to ask Ash something that will forever change their lives. Something he meticulously planned for months... Will Eiji's plan succeed? A story about pure freedom, a promise and undeniable proof of Eiji's love that surprises Ash.

At thirty-two, Emma leaves behind a string of failures for the most isolated job she can find: tending a remote Scottish lighthouse. She expects solitude. She doesn't expect James - the previous keeper, a man fleeing grief so heavy he can barely speak of it, training her before he disappears back into his guilt. What follows is a slow-burn story about two broken people learning that running from pain and running toward purpose can look the same from a distance, but aren't. Emma discovers that the crushing responsibility of the light - the fear that failure could cost lives - is also what teaches her she can carry weight and keep going. James, meanwhile, has to decide whether love means staying safe from loss, or showing up anyway. Told across storms, letters, and long-awaited visits, it's a quiet romance about grief, isolation, and the kind of home you build by simply refusing to let the light go out.

Why did everything I love, adventure, danger and exploration disappear, without warning. I couldn't do anything to stop it from happening. How must I live in this world now?

The scent of salt on the breeze, the fog, the chill and the autumn. The laughter, the lobsters, the murmur of the sea. The glow of a lighthouse. A wistful song sung in a pub. The liquor, the night, the crack of a bat striking the ball. The voice of a grandfather with countless tales to share *** According to some legends, the sea is the home of everything we have lost, of what we never had, of broken wishes, of sorrows, of the tears we've shed. I wonder if, down there among the waves, in all that blue, my forgotten heart is there too -Harry
