Chapter Text

My name is Wifies. I've been working as the lighthouse keeper here on Farthest Reef for about six months. The island is small and the storms are rough but it pays well. Heavens know I need the money.

I'm the only one who lives on this god forsaken island, if you can even call it that. It's a glorified pile of rocks surrounded by dead coral. There's supposed to be three lightkeepers, according to the law, but the other two ditched me.

I'm just here to do my job. I maintain the light, operate the foghorn, and make sure no one wrecks here during storms. I don't have time for anything else.

That is, until today. Today something odd happened. Today while I was getting fuel for the generator I heard this horrible rumbling sound. Like a roar, almost? But not quite. It came from the ocean.

I went to investigate, but I didn't find anything. I decided to ignore it for now unless it happens again. I refueled the generator and went on with my day.

I'm tired. I don't get why I need to keep this logbook anyways. It's not like I plan on leaving this job anytime soon. Or like I have a way to leave it.

Notes:

this is my first time using a workskin, please tell me if you have any tips! like, uh, how do i get it out of center align?

To help make the experience authentic I'm writing in an old notebook that I actually got in the gift shop of a lighthouse lol
