The Vanishing LighthouseDaniel had always been fascinated by maritime legends, but nothing intrigued him more than the mystery of Blackwater Lighthouse. The structure had stood for over a century, guiding ships through treacherous waters—until one night, it simply disappeared.The ArrivalDetermined to uncover the truth, Daniel traveled to the coastal town of Ravenshore. The locals spoke in hushed tones about the lighthouse, claiming it had vanished overnight, leaving nothing but an empty island. Some believed it was swallowed by the sea; others whispered of something far more sinister.Undeterred, Daniel hired a boat and made his way to Blackwater Isle. The journey was rough, the waves relentless, but as he neared the shore, his breath caught—where the lighthouse should have stood, there was only an eerie, swirling mist.The InvestigationStepping onto the island, Daniel found remnants of the past—rusted lanterns, shattered glass, and old logbooks. The last entry, dated the night of the disappearance, sent chills down his spine:“The light flickers, but the storm is not the cause. Something watches from the dark. If anyone reads this… we are not alone.”The wind howled through the empty space where the lighthouse had been, carrying a distant, echoing sound—like a foghorn from beneath the waves.The TruthAs night fell, Daniel set up camp, determined to witness whatever force had taken the lighthouse. Hours passed, and just as he was about to give up, the mist thickened. The ground trembled. Then, out of nowhere, the lighthouse reappeared—its beacon glowing faintly in the darkness.But it was different.The structure was aged beyond its years, covered in barnacles and dripping with seawater as if it had spent centuries beneath the ocean.A shadow moved inside.Daniel stepped forward, heart pounding. A cold voice whispered through the wind:“You shouldn’t have come.”And before he could react, the lighthouse—and Daniel—vanished with the tide.
