Description N stumbled a few steps forward- then stopped suddenly. For there, looming in front of him, was a HUGE lighthouse! It was like... the size of... the size of... A BIG TREE! NOT JUST A BIG TREE, BUT A RATHER BIG TREE!
Okay, it wasn't actually that impressive, but it seemed it at the time.

Then, a strange thing came over N... he thought of a childhood friend whom he hadn't seen since his teenage years, and a strange feeling came over him. And, unbidden, verses of poetry he never thought he'd think about again came to him unbidden....

Her eyes were the deepest shade of toilet water blue,
And her hugs were as warm as freshly spewed spew.
Her hair was as dark as the lid of my pen-
She truly was beautiful- and her name was Sphen.

My heart torn out, my love thrown away
And shoved onto a metaphorical dump truck on Valentines Day.
It hurt so excruciatingly, a pain above all,
Like the pain you feel when you accidentally staple- gun your tongue on to the wall.

My love for you is forever like a red, red rose,
That in a most desolate garden grows.
Flowering softly, where the air is still,
Grows my love- which looks vaguely like a daffodil.

I don’t even think that you know my name,
Day after day, it’s always the same.
Looking on sadly as you give your love away,
Day after day, day after day.

Each day feels as sad as the last-
And yet, whenever you walk past,
My heart stops…

And now I’m dead.


And so N slowly and reluctantly stood up, and after recollecting his somewhat fractured thoughts, went up to climb the lighthouse...
