No Way Out

Category: Thriller

A knock at the door changed everything.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The end.
