Category: Thriller
The garden had been her mother’s pride, and now it was hers.
The train pulled out of the station with a long, mournful whistle.

The stars that night seemed closer than they had any right to be.
It was the kind of night when secrets refused to stay buried.
The map was old, its edges frayed, but the path it showed was unmistakable.
The end.
