Narrative Elements Introduction
The Signal at Bracken Point
On a windy Saturday evening, twelve-year-old Nia was helping her uncle close the small coastal museum at Bracken Point. As they locked the door, a red light blinked from the old lighthouse across the bay. It was supposed to be switched off while repairs were under way. Then the museum radio crackled. A voice, thin with static, said, “The supply boat can’t see the harbour markers.” Nia knew the markers guided boats safely through the rocks, but the museum’s emergency lamp was missing from its hook. Her uncle searched the office while Nia remembered seeing a bright lantern in the display room. She found it beside a model ship and carried it to the cliff path. The wind tugged at her coat as she raised the lantern above the harbour. Across the water, the boat’s horn sounded once, then twice. Its lights turned towards the safe channel. By the time Nia and her uncle reached the museum again, rain was tapping on the windows. The radio crackled once more: “We’re in. Thank you.” Nia hung the lantern back on its hook, ready for the next emergency.
