The Vanishing Act
Category: Thriller
The sword was heavier than she expected, but she did not lower it.
The market was bustling with merchants, their voices a chorus of bargains and boasts.

The morning light filtered through the curtains, painting the room in soft gold.
A knock at the door changed everything.
The end.
