The beam swung out over the water, and Ines watched it die. Not fade. Die. The light that should have gilded the bellies of passing freighters slid into the black swells and simply stopped, as if the sea had learned to swallow it. Three days later the supply boat knocked against the dock. Captain Voss tossed her a crate of tinned beef and squinted at the horizon. "Missing vessels," she said. "Four this month. The tide comes in wrong." Voss laughed. "Tide's a tide, Ines. You've been alone too long." That night she saw it climb. A humanoid shape rose from the surf, shoulders streaming, and walked up the cliff face where no path existed, its feet finding the wet rocks like stairs. She locked the tower. She checked the bolts twice. At dawn, wet footprints crossed the lamp room floor, and the air tasted of brine so thick she gagged. The footprints led nowhere. Then the voices started. Her mother's, gentle through the door. A child crying. And Voss, Voss's voice, flat and certain, calling from the rocks below. "Ines, the boat's taking water. Come down." She didn't. In the cellar she found the old logbook, its spine swollen with damp. The last keeper before her had written in a shaking hand: Doused the lamp. It followed us inland. They found us in the meadow, drowned. Ines climbed the tower with a fire axe. She stood before the great lens, her own reflection warped in its glass, and swung. The crash echoed down the spiral stair. Darkness poured over the coast. Below, something screamed, a vast, wet, disappointed sound, and slid back into the water. At dawn she stood on the cliff. The sea lay flat and silver. She gathered driftwood and lit a small fire, and its thin orange flame burned steady, pointing out to whatever ships were still out there, still looking for the shore.
