Title: The Lighthouse Keeper’s Letters Level: Intermediate (B2)

#Story :

Emily rents a cottage beside an old lighthouse in a quiet coastal town. There, she finds a hidden box of letters written by Elias, a lighthouse keeper from 1912, addressed to “My Dearest.” The letters reveal his deep love for a mysterious woman who disappeared. As Emily reads them, she feels an eerie connection to Elias and begins to sense a presence in the lighthouse. When she visits the local historical society, she learns Elias vanished under strange circumstances, believed to still haunt the lighthouse. One stormy night, following the glow of the lantern, Emily meets Elias himself—still bound to the lighthouse, waiting for her return. She discovers that she and Elias were lovers in another life. He offers her a choice: to stay with him forever in the timeless lighthouse or return to her ordinary life. Emily chooses to stay. The lighthouse becomes a place of legend, glowing every night, with two souls forever watching the sea.
