No Way Out

Category: Thriller

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

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

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

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

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

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

A cold wind swept across the plain, carrying with it the scent of distant rain.

The fire had burned down to embers, but neither of them moved to stoke it.

The end.
