The Perfect Stranger
Category: Thriller
A cold wind swept across the plain, carrying with it the scent of distant rain.
Some doors, once opened, can never be closed again.
It was the kind of night when secrets refused to stay buried.
A knock at the door changed everything.
She smiled, but it did not reach her eyes.
The train pulled out of the station with a long, mournful whistle.
The letter was still on the table, unopened, as it had been for three days.
The map was old, its edges frayed, but the path it showed was unmistakable.
The end.
