AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Peter is a young man who has been chosen by his town to be the latest lighthouse keeper. This is not the normal kind of lighthouse whose purpose is to warn ships approaching land. It is a prison where convicts are held forever. For their crimes, they have been made immortal, but their bodies decline so they can barely move. Every year, for two weeks, someone is sent to tend to them, but not help them very much. The town is paid money for maintaining the facility. This was an imaginative and very unsettling story.'
