An unusual place.

Somewhere in the world is an unusual place.
There is a circular room. It is about 6metres across.
In that place was a room and some stairs. Unusual stairs. If you went up the stairs you came to a bedroom with very little furniture. 

What could this place be? "A castle?" "A house?" "A lighthouse?"
Who lived there? 
Further up the stairs were more rooms. What was in them? "I know, there is a lantern room."

Somebody lived in this place with their family.
"Are you Mr Grinling?" No
"Are you real?" Yes
"Were you in a film?" Yes, after I died.
"Are you a lighthouse keeper?" Yes
"Are you young?" Yes
"Are you a boy?" No

Outside a storm was brewing....
then raging....
into a full blown tempest.

The walls of the lighthouse were strong. 
If they could speak I wonder what they would say...
"I am strong." 
"I'll keep you safe."
"The storm is terrible."
"The wind is freezing cold."

What do you still want to find out about this story?
