The wick sputtered to life, casting jagged orange flickers across the spiral stairs. Mara gripped the iron railing, salt air biting her knuckles. Below, the waves crashed like accusations.

She'd come back to Blackreef Lighthouse after two decades, chasing whispers from old letters. 'The light calls you home,' one read, in her mother's faded script. But home felt wrong now—too still, too watchful.

Halfway down, the air thickened. Footsteps pattered above, light and quick, vanishing when she spun. Heart thudding, Mara descended to the keeper's log, its leather cover cool and damp. Flipping it open, her breath caught: 'Mara returns tonight. The fog remembers.' Her handwriting? Impossible.

A chill seeped through the stone walls, carrying the scent of wet earth and wildflowers—her sister's favorite. Lena, lost to the sea at ten. Mara traced the words, pulse racing. The lantern dimmed, then flared, illuminating a small handprint on the page, smeared in ink.

'Play with me,' a voice giggled from the shadows, soft as sea foam. Mara whirled, seeing nothing but the beam sweeping the fog outside. Her skin prickled; the room smelled of childhood now, crayons and rain. Was this grief, or something older clawing back?

It tilted its head. 'Why did you leave me, Mara?' The voice wasn't wind. It was Lena's. The fog pressed against the windows, thick as breath held too long. Something knocked from below, insistent, rising.
