The Hiding Place
Category: Thriller
It was the kind of night when secrets refused to stay buried.
Some doors, once opened, can never be closed again.
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.
She smiled, but it did not reach her eyes.

She had not expected to see him again, not after all these years.
He had been waiting for her for what felt like an eternity.
The end.
