The Last Alibi

Category: Thriller

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

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

She smiled, but it did not reach her eyes.

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

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

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

A knock at the door changed everything.

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

The end.
