The Titan Engine

Category: Sci-Fi

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

The morning light filtered through the curtains, painting the room in soft gold.

The fire had burned down to embers, but neither of them moved to stoke it.

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

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

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.

She smiled, but it did not reach her eyes.

The end.
