The Last Alibi
Category: Thriller
The stars that night seemed closer than they had any right to be.
She smiled, but it did not reach her eyes.
It was the kind of night when secrets refused to stay buried.
She had not expected to see him again, not after all these years.
A knock at the door changed everything.
A cold wind swept across the plain, carrying with it the scent of distant rain.
The train pulled out of the station with a long, mournful whistle.
He was the kind of man who kept his word, even when it cost him.
The end.
