Category: Romance

The train pulled out of the station with a long, mournful whistle.

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

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

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 end.
