The Fifth Victim
Category: Thriller
The sword was heavier than she expected, but she did not lower it.
He had been waiting for her for what felt like an eternity.
The garden had been her mother’s pride, and now it was hers.
It was the kind of night when secrets refused to stay buried.
The train pulled out of the station with a long, mournful whistle.
The stars that night seemed closer than they had any right to be.
He was the kind of man who kept his word, even when it cost him.
The fire had burned down to embers, but neither of them moved to stoke it.
The end.
