The Eternal Flame
Category: Fantasy
The stars that night seemed closer than they had any right to be.
Some doors, once opened, can never be closed again.
The letter was still on the table, unopened, as it had been for three days.
She had learned long ago not to trust promises.
A knock at the door changed everything.
She had not expected to see him again, not after all these years.
The train pulled out of the station with a long, mournful whistle.
He had been waiting for her for what felt like an eternity.
The end.
