No Way Out

Category: Thriller

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

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

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

The sword was heavier than she expected, but she did not lower it.

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

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

The morning light filtered through the curtains, painting the room in soft gold.

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

The end.
