The Inheritance

Category: Thriller

The garden had been her mother’s pride, and now it was hers.

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

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.

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

A knock at the door changed everything.

She had learned long ago not to trust promises.

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

The end.
