Category: Fantasy

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

The stars that night seemed closer than they had any right to be.

She had not expected to see him again, not after all these years.

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

The garden had been her mother’s pride, and now it was hers.
