Thelighthouse Stories

[WARNING: THE COVER PICTURE IS NOT MINE!!!] I've loved dark fantasy and supernatural horror ever since I've turned 14. Due to me not enjoying to read until I turned 17, before getting to that age, I only had movies, tv shows, and short films to look for what I've loved in (I never liked video games or theatre, and I still don't). As far as I can tell, at least for now, in the history of my interests, there has not been a director whose movies are so similar to what I'm interested in. Well, at least if we don't count Robert Eggers, the supernatural horror maestro :) Now, that I'm 19 and I did grow to like reading, I still find all his works an absolute cinema. That's why I decided to finally speak out and loud why I consider SO GOOD whatever movie or a short film this man releases :) Disclaimer: When I grow up (LMAO) I want to become a literature version of Eggers ;)

A rewrite of the lighthouse with more supernatural elements and a completely original plot.

I have a problem. Maybe we all have a problem. Liking murderers and psychopaths. Pretty privilege at its finest. Edit: I don't want to do Jason from Friday 13th. I had genuine criticisms of the first film and couldn't bring myself to watch the rest. It would be unfair to you for me to try to write about Jason whilst not having seen the films and personally not liking him. Warning: contains slight sexual language, depictions of violent and graphic scenes, swearing and slight drug use. May trigger people with extreme paranoia or anxiety. All POVs are from the perspective of a genderfluid, unnamed and unknown character. There is no description of them. Feel free to self insert. There is no smut. I take a long fucking time to update because I can't be arsed. But I have many chapters that are like almost done that will someday be published. I just have the attention span of a goldfish and can't focus on writing unless I really really want to.

A poem about the lonely seaside lighthouse.

Fourteen year old Yarna Bashet has no family other than her mother Layla. After getting kicked out of the apartment that they had been staying in they move in to a light house. With Layla barely getting paid as a waitress they are forced to steal food from stores, but when Layla gets caught for crimes a little bigger than stealing she hands Yarna a piece of paper that will change her life as she knows it. "take this to the lighthouse and read it there, because I know you are going to be mad" "what are you saying" "I'm saying that, I'm going away for a while and if you want to gain just a little insight into our family read the paper, if not," Layla paused, "Well it's up to you, I just hope you understand". With that, Layla was pushed into the police car and driven away. She was gone.

When the choking smudge of life becomes too much, and it's cloudy, wretched darkness wraps itself around his head, Cassiel Troy craves the solace of light. The safety of a nice, warm glow. He finds it, one day- He finds it, and he learns that it is evil too. \\An original work by Joshua Petersen\\

Working in historical restoration, he gets the chance to work on a beloved small-town lighthouse. As a marine biologist, she sees this as the perfect chance to start some research and teaching. Still, the folly of youth often overlooks the warnings from the elderly and experienced. What will they do when the water runs gray?
