The Perfect Stranger

Category: Thriller

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

A knock at the door changed everything.

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

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.

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

A cold wind swept across the plain, carrying with it the scent of distant rain.

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

The end.
