Hello all,
This is my response to the Freewrite prompt, a daily writing exercise that I will be trying to get myself into the habit of doing. Thank you @mariannewest for hosting these.

Prompt: “Beacon”
It was a pitch black night. Gina was sailing home from an amazing day spent snorkelling amongst the reefs. She had planned on coming in before dark, but forgot how quickly night falls here in the tropics. The stars were out in force, brilliant pinpricks of white light piercing the infinite veil. Gina loved being on the water at night, she felt truly embraced by the majesty of the universe. Alone, with no one around and nothing but the sounds of the water lapping against her boat to keep break the silence. Tonight was no different, as Gina sailed back towards home. And with a brilliant beam of light, the lighthouse beacon turned on, tuned to her proximity. Ahh, the benefits of GPS tracking and smart systems. It had taken her some time to setup, but the benefits of not having the beacon on until she got close to shore was entirely worthwhile. The beacon started its spinning, illuminating wide swaths of the rocky shore. She glimpsed fish in the shallows, darting away as the light passed overhead. While the shore was not too dangerous, the beacon provided her a foolproof guide to bring her home. It was her north star, her literal guiding light in the darkness. And on many nights, when she was feeling the night was a little darker than normal, it was her beacon of hope.
