Old Elias has lived in the lighthouse for as long as anyone is counted. His gaunt face bore the traces of countless storms and endless lonely nights. A lighthouse with solid stone walls and moving lights. Standing tall like a steadfast parent above the tense sea.
The days of Elias show a familiar pattern. He would rise with the sun and often venture to the lighthouse. and spend many evenings reading or observing the water. The sea became his friend. His friendliness And sometimes it's his enemy. He was seen in every mood—peaceful and calm. angry and consistent
One stormy night A boat ran aground on the rocks beneath the lighthouse. The waves almost tore the body to pieces. Despite his old age, Elias soon moved to the lantern room. His heart was beating fast. He turned on the torch. A powerful beam of light cuts through the darkness and guides the survivors to safety.
As the hurricane roars Elias stood at the window and watched the fleet struggle to shore. His eyes were filled with tears of relief. As they finally controlled themselves from sliding on the rocks, He knew he saved their lives.
The next morning the sea calmed down and the storm passed. Elias went to the beach to see if he should help the survivors. They shrank, shook, and were wiped out together. He provided them with shelter and warmth inside the lighthouse.
As the weeks passed Survivors gradually Come back strong again They share stories about their lives, their dreams, and their fears. Elias listened intently and was comforted by their presence. Even though he's alone He learned that he was not alone at all.
