Narrative Elements Introduction
The Last Light at Pelican Point
At dusk, twelve-year-old Mira helped her grandfather close the tiny lighthouse on Pelican Point. The sea was usually calm, but tonight dark clouds crowded the horizon. As Grandad checked the lantern, its steady beam flickered and went out. A radio crackled. A fishing boat was calling for help: its engine had failed, and the storm was pushing it towards the rocky shore. The lighthouse’s backup lamp was locked in a storage shed across the headland. Grandad reached for his walking stick, but pain crossed his face; his ankle, twisted that morning, would not carry him safely over the slippery track. “I can get it,” Mira said. She pulled on her yellow raincoat and hurried into the wind. Halfway along the track, she spotted a young seal tangled in a length of fishing net. The shed was just ahead, but the seal was struggling and the waves were rising. Mira used her pocketknife to cut the net, then guided the seal towards a sheltered pool. She reached the shed, found the backup lamp and raced back. With Grandad’s help, she switched it on. Its bright beam swept across the water. A few minutes later, the boat turned away from the rocks and headed safely towards the harbour. When the storm passed, Mira watched the seal slip beneath the waves. Grandad smiled. “Tonight, you kept more than one light shining.”
