Quantum Drift

Category: Sci-Fi

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

There were stories told of this place, and none of them ended well.

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

She had learned long ago not to trust promises.

A knock at the door changed everything.

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

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

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

The end.
