Disclaimer: I don't own Traverse Town, Kingdom Hearts, or the Heartless. But I did create this story, and thus own the magic of folklore.

Traverse Town was a world of necessity—first created as the first world was consumed by Heartless.
The people sent here built everything to make it the eclectic safe haven it is today.
Everything, except one:
The lamp post.
In the darkness that the world was born, its first travellers found it.
"Fate," many said. "Placed here to remind us that there is light in the deepest darkness."
Others insisted it was a reminder of their transient nature, a constant reminder of the ebb and flow of people into this world.
And thus the lamp post stayed, until no one could remember why.
AN: I don't even know if there is a particular lamp post to base this on... I honestly was sitting outside the South Dining Hall and mesmerized by the single lamp post on, surrounded by a tree, in the middle of a torrent. At 8:40am waiting for my friends to come for breakfast...
