Dead Reckoning

Category: Thriller

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

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

The letter was still on the table, unopened, as it had been for three days.

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

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

Some doors, once opened, can never be closed again.

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

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

The end.
