The Last Alibi

Category: Thriller

The stars that night seemed closer than they had any right to be.

He had been waiting for her for what felt like an eternity.

The morning light filtered through the curtains, painting the room in soft gold.

The sword was heavier than she expected, but she did not lower it.

The map was old, its edges frayed, but the path it showed was unmistakable.

She smiled, but it did not reach her eyes.

A knock at the door changed everything.

She had not expected to see him again, not after all these years.

The end.
