No Way Out

Category: Thriller

It was the kind of night when secrets refused to stay buried.

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

There were stories told of this place, and none of them ended well.

The fire had burned down to embers, but neither of them moved to stoke it.

A cold wind swept across the plain, carrying with it the scent of distant rain.

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

He was the kind of man who kept his word, even when it cost him.

She had learned long ago not to trust promises.

The end.
