They Saw a Great Light

"They Saw a Great Light" is a Christmas short story following Laura Cutts, a lighthouse keeper's wife on the Maine coast, who faces a brutal winter blizzard alone with her two small children on Christmas Eve. Her husband Tom and his crew have not returned from an emergency errand to the mainland, and as the storm rages through the night, Laura must keep both lighthouse lamps burning — not just as duty, but as the only beacon that might guide Tom home. The story builds quiet, devastating tension around one woman's courage and the weight of not knowing.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/ririro-com-short-stories--6577582/support.
