Our character feels isolated and alone, she yearns for a friend. She sets out to a lake beneath the stars in a little boat and sends up her wish of companionship. A few moments pass and nothing happens, but then a light in the distance blinks, and our character goes to it, excited, and as she rows and the fog clears, we see a lighthouse. She jumps out of her little boat and runs into the lighthouse, up the stairs and into the light room… but there is no one there. Her heart sinks and she feels the burn of disappointment as she approaches the huge window. The lake is still and baron as is her loneliness. She returns to her little boat and sets off back across the lake. Almost at the pier her boat hits something. Startled she turns around, and is facing another lonely soul, heading out into the lake.
