On the rugged Northwestern Pacific Coast, is a high cliff called Donzerleigh Point. Upon it stands a lighthouse to guide ships through the rocky inlet. Vessels search out the Donzerleigh Light to navigate safe passage to Port Manteau. From there, travellers can travel inland to stay at the magnificent hotel at the spectacular Defenestration Falls.

I’m gonna write an epic novel about southern Louisiana, but under a pseudonym, so that the book can be “By Eugene Lacroix.”
