A Quiet Place to Die

Category: Thriller

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

A knock at the door changed everything.

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

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

The train pulled out of the station with a long, mournful whistle.

The market was bustling with merchants, their voices a chorus of bargains and boasts.

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

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

The end.
