Category: Thriller
The sword was heavier than she expected, but she did not lower it.
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.
The market was bustling with merchants, their voices a chorus of bargains and boasts.
She smiled, but it did not reach her eyes.
The end.
