THE THIRTEENTH SURVIVOR

THERE'S A LIGHTHOUSE NOW but back when there wasn't, a ship crashed on those the rocks one foggy night and thirteen people died. Their names and ages are engraved on a rock leaning against the cliff. No one is capable of walking up to it as earthquakes and soil erosion have made it impossible to reach the rock. If visitors stand in the right place and have a pair of binoculars ready then they can sort of see the names. Some of the names are crossed off. People remember when there were fewer names crossed out and there's a theory as to why. The twelfth name was recently crossed after the skull of a John Doe was unearthed in the sand, bleached and worn after many years of saltwater. There are eleven recorded cases in the area of fishing boats and lifeguards rescuing people from the water only to see them vanish without a trace. The final name is a person yet to be rescued.
