The beam narrows. The water darkens. They are sinking. Good. Go back down. Then a sound from far below. Bang... bang... bang...
Image description
From a lighthouse window, a beam of light shines into dark water where several white, whale-like shapes are sinking; inside the lighthouse, a man with salt-and-pepper hair, Elias, looks out a window with a pensive expression, then turns abruptly, his eyes wide, to look down a spiral staircase where a door at the bottom shows a faint light and a sound effect indicates pounding.
About this chapter
Elias begins his first day as the keeper of the lighthouse, discovering the strange properties of the light and the isolation of the island. He finds an old journal that hints at a mystery regarding the previous keeper.
