@hivewriter's keeper watches through salt-worn glass, forever vigilant
Prompt
A weathered lighthouse keeper with salt-crusted beard and worn oilskin coat stands in the circular glass chamber of an ancient lighthouse, his aged hands trembling as he gazes at a single mysterious flame floating impossibly in mid-air, the persistent fire casting dancing shadows across brass fixtures and curved glass panels, ocean spray visible beyond the windows, atmospheric maritime melancholy, solitary figure bathed in warm flame-light against cold blue twilight, textured aged surfaces, haunting and contemplative scene
