Imagine a place where the stairs continued forever, where
you were higher than the seagulls, where no one could find you: the abandoned
lighthouse was where Lisa dreamed of being every time she was in trouble. Now,
thirty years later, she remembered how safe she had felt hiding there.
“There
you are Miss Ross, the Grand Harbour Lighthouse is officially your property!
Mind you it gets a bit stormy at Fish Fluke point. And what about those bears on Ross Island!”
“ Thank you solicitor. I can’t wait to make it my home!”
Lisa replied taking the keys from him.

This is a very good peice of writing because of your opener, it really grips the reader to read on and creates powerful imagery! I love how you have described the lighthouse with 'imagine a place' , it really sets the scene! There is a good balance of description and dialogue (DAD). You should be proud of your work, Well done!
