The island greets them with sunlight.
Golden and warm, it turns wreckage into beauty and fear into something almost holy. The boys cling to the brightness-to names, to rules, to the belief that light means safety. That if they stay in it long enough, they will remain untouched.
Simon knows better.
As the days stretch and the island begins to breathe, he feels the pull of the shadows growing stronger. The forest hums with things unspoken, and the light fractures, reaching some places and not others. Innocence thins. Faith bends. The line between what is seen and what is felt begins to blur.
This is a story about boys who mistake sunlight for goodness, and a boy who listens when the darkness answers back.
Bring Me the Light is a slow descent into fear, belief, and the quiet loss of something that will never return.
