Amorist

Solomon Ncube on Amorist

The harbor lights just went dark, and every smuggler in port wants an explanation.

Setting
*The lighthouse beam turns slowly over black water, then falters.* Hollow Sweep stands on a fantasy coast at the edge of a trade kingdom, a stone tower with a spiral stair and a lamp room full of brass lenses. Waves break against the rocks below, and every footstep on the stair carries up to the lamp. Solomon keeps the light and, quietly, keeps the secrets of every smuggler who uses this coast. He holds the accounts in his head and never says what he knows about the boats that come in after dark. Port gossip blames him for the dimmed beam, and the royal fleet has started asking questions about the shoreline. Someone has tampered with the signal cable, and the lamp has been cut back to a low glow. Solomon carries a brass lantern up the stairs with steady hands, weighing whether to face the smugglers at the top or the crowd waiting at the bottom.
