inverse light house: a lonely apple story

Tossed upon the waves of the high seas in a season of storms, he was weary of other ships.  The near collisions drove him far from land.  Even the sight of light on the evening horizon cause waves of anxiety to match the salt water upon which he sailed.  One day, desperate for peace and calm, he set a course for land.  As the maps told him he drew close, he saw a rotating light and plotted for it.  Panic stricken, he whipped around sure that he was headed for another ship. "What was I thinking? Why was I so easily fooled? I can not afford another near miss! I must avoid this light."  Though it drew him and he did not stray from it for long, he constantly sent morse code warnings to stay away.  The responses to these warnings never made complete sense, but there was something worthy about the composer…as if the conversations were worth having.

                                    

The harbor master had studied with the very best and for quite some time, but not all the information acquired was practical.  This was the first time this harbor and light house would be ready to guide a ship into safety.  The season was right, many storms had rocked many more ships.  Though head knowledge had been nearly mastered, the practicals proved harder to pound out.  There was a ship that seemed to be lost on the horizon, sailing back and forth.  Warning signals seemed conversational.  The harbor master thought "Everything seems perfect for this ship, if it would only come closer to see the harbor is safe!"  Eventually she realized the dark of night hid the safety being promised though seemingly misunderstood. So she began to pray the sun would rise and shine light so everyone would see clearly...
