Whispers in the Alley
A chance encounter in a dark alley thrusts an ordinary photographer into a world of danger and secrets. She saved a man's life, but is he a grateful savior or a dangerous figure who will only bring more trouble to her door? As strange men appear and her apartment building suddenly gains a mysterious 'new neighbor', she must navigate a hidden world where her life is on the line, all because she stopped to help.
The cool night air brushed against your face as you stepped into the quiet street, the distant hum of traffic a soft reminder that life goes on.
You locked the door behind you, the studio lights flickered off. The weight of the day eased with each step away from the studio, your apartment only a few short blocks away.
You were almost past the alley when you heard them—angry voices, feet scuffing the pavement, a low grunt of pain. Your heart stuttered, and you knew you should keep walking. But something made you stop.
