On the coast of Italy a lighthouse sits upon a rocky hill guiding ships to shore at night. However it becomes a trap for immigrants in rubber dinghys trying to run to a new life. It becomes a beacon of death as these men, women and children crash into the rocks below. Lifejackets sit on a nearby beach. They are the only sign of these lost lives. As the local government desperately tries to cover up this tragedy, one man has the responsibility to show the world what happens there and save the lives of those searching and hoping for a new one.

Shoreside
This is a story about life, finding oneself in unfamiliar territory, losing those we love, staying together with those we love, growing up, hardship, and above all else, finding a way through. Stay strong, dear reader, there may be rough water ahead. **** It is important to note that there is disturbing content in this story. I am not a woman, and I do not presume to know all the hardships a woman may face. I do not intend this story to take away from real stories, nor do I intend to make myself seem somehow righteous in telling of the hardships of others, even in a fictional sense. I only wish to acknowledge the cruelty in this world, and the reality of the suffering of those who suffer, who are hurt, who are victims.Complete
