a night at the light house(part 2)  

Posted by ishan khanna

when i opened my eyes i was lying on  sand. i blinked once...twice...then i realised i was alive.....ah the feeling.

i got up and felt my heart sink again. i was on a deserted and lonely island . and my backpack was nowhere to be seen....all my foodsupplies were gone...so were my chances of an easy survival.
but i am a man of great courage...i got up and started walking towards  the centre of the island. there i saw something that made meleap with excitement and joy...a lighthouse...actually a lighthouse!
i lost my mind and started running towards it ...it loomed nearer and nearer....i was going to get there and call for help. i arrived at teh vast  white turret completely out of breath but pleased with myself. i reached the  door and started knocking on it...no reply.....

i knocked for quite some time until i was perfectly sure there was no one there.
then i cheered myself up by thinking that surely someone would come here by night. so i just  got around to rest till night...when i dosed off i never knew....perhaps it was just my exhaustion.
when i woke up it was night...my waterproof watch had not failed me and  showed 10 past midnight...!

i got up quickly and looked up at the lighthouse...THERE WAS A LIGHT ON!

i cried out a thanks to god and ran pell mell up to the turret...the door was open.....i ran upstairs......bt not until i reached the top did i discover what  awaited me there...

to be continued...
