The Last Lighthouse Keeper

A lighthouse stands alone on a jagged cliff, battered by crashing waves. Inside, an old keeper, grizzled and weary, climbs the spiral staircase, his lantern casting flickering shadows. Camera: low-angle tracking shot from behind, following his heavy footsteps. He reaches the lamp room, throws open the door, and the beam slices through a furious storm. Rain pelts the glass, wind shrieks. He looks out, and for a moment, a ghostly ship appears on the horizon, vanishing in a flash of lightning. He clutches a locket, tears mixing with salt spray. Style: atmospheric, muted teal and gray palette, soft focus on his face, volumetric light. Sound: roaring wind, crashing waves, creaking metal.
