The Vanishing Act
Category: Thriller
A cold wind swept across the plain, carrying with it the scent of distant rain.
It was the kind of night when secrets refused to stay buried.
There were stories told of this place, and none of them ended well.
The stars that night seemed closer than they had any right to be.
The market was bustling with merchants, their voices a chorus of bargains and boasts.
The fire had burned down to embers, but neither of them moved to stoke it.
A knock at the door changed everything.
The sword was heavier than she expected, but she did not lower it.
The end.
