Story outline · 8 beats

1 Opening

We meet Mateo in a lighthouse that stopped turning. The house keeps adding rooms while you sleep. The air is quiet and aching, and nothing has gone wrong yet.

2 Inciting spark

I wasn't looking for this. But the house keeps adding rooms while you sleep, and now I can't unsee it.

3 Rising action

You think you can just walk in and fix it? a lighthouse that stopped turning has rules. I wrote most of them.

4 Complication

Every time I get close, the neighbour who never ages gets there first. I'm starting to think the a radio tuned to tomorrow was never the point.

5 Midpoint turn

Halfway through, Mateo realises the a radio tuned to tomorrow is not a clue — it is a promise someone broke.

6 Climax

If you open that, Mateo will never forgive you. And neither will I.

7 The twist

The truth is that the neighbour who never ages has been protecting Mateo all along.

8 Resolution

Some things are only beautiful once they're gone. For the first time, Mateo believes it.
