No Way Out

Category: Thriller

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.

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

She had learned long ago not to trust promises.

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

He had been waiting for her for what felt like an eternity.

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

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

The end.
