Narrative Elements Introduction
The Beacon on the Headland
On a blustery October evening, twelve-year-old Mara helped her grandfather prepare the old lighthouse for its final inspection. As dusk settled over the Yorkshire coast, a thick fog rolled in. The lighthouse lamp flickered once, then went dark. Below, a fishing boat was still out at sea. Grandad hurried to the control room, but the backup generator would not start. Mara spotted a loose cable near the battery and remembered the repair kit in the store cupboard. The door had jammed in the damp, so she squeezed through a narrow window and found the kit. Working together, she and Grandad secured the cable and restarted the generator. A bright beam swept across the water just as the boat appeared through the fog. The fishermen followed the light safely into the harbour. Later, Grandad told Mara that the lighthouse might be old, but it still had a job to do.
