Today when John woke up, he had a feeling of dread. His father was still along him to take care of the house but this was the first time he was alone in it.

All he had to do was make sure the light was on till morning then switch it off. That and answer the door.

“Let’s do this”

John said as he climbed the latter to the top. When he climbed up he saw nice, slow, calming waves below. He saw a few ships in the horizon, fishers probably.

The sun started to lower along intricate colors fill the sky. The fade of orange and pink swirled in the sky. The night was now.

The ship from before was still there bouncing in the waves of the sea. The sea was not a clean sea, trash was seen even from the light house that was miles away.

“What is he doing out there?” Mumbled John to himself as he flashes the light on. It was getting so dark the only way to see was from the blinding light. Soon another ship came from the horizon, heading to the fishing ship.

John shinind the light at the upcoming ship. Then the light went off.

“What the hell?!” Asked John checking the light. It didn’t take long for the light to go back on. However now there was only one ship.
