The Last Alibi

Category: Thriller

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

She had learned long ago not to trust promises.

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

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

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

She had not expected to see him again, not after all these years.

The end.
