🎃 The Lantern in the Sand I’ll never forget that night in the outskirts of Al Ain. I had gone out alone with my camera to capture the desert sky — clear, quiet, and endless. The dunes shimmered under the moonlight, and the only sound was the whisper of the wind. That’s when I saw it — a faint orange glow near an old, abandoned rest house half-buried in sand. When I got closer, I realized it was an old lantern, still burning. It looked ancient, brass and rusted, yet the flame danced strong. Tied to the handle was a piece of paper that read: > “Do not light the way for the lost.” I laughed nervously and set up my tripod. But when I looked through my camera lens, my stomach dropped. Behind the lantern, I saw figures — tall shapes wrapped in white, half-covered by sand. They weren’t moving, just… standing. Watching. I spun around — nothing was there. But when I turned back, the figures were gone, and the lantern began to flicker violently before going out completely. That’s when I heard it — a whisper right next to my ear: > “You lit the way.” The next thing I remember is running back to my car, heart racing. Later, when I checked my camera, the last photo made my blood run cold — the empty desert, glowing faintly with dozens of lanterns, arranged in a perfect circle. Sometimes, late at night, when the wind blows from the desert, I still hear that whisper: > “The lost remember.” Stake ID: Qasim26
