Fata Narrat: Short Stories

Draft of Buried Truth

In the quiet town of Millfield, Detective Sarah Reeves was known for her sharp intuition and unwavering resolve. The day brought a new challenge: a mysterious note had been found at the site of an old mansion. It read: 'The truth is buried beneath the rose garden.'

Sarah arrived at the decaying mansion, its gardens overgrown with weeds. As she examined the area around the rose bushes, her keen eye noticed something unusual-a faint discoloration in the soil. With a trowel from her bag, she carefully dug and found an old diary. The writing was faded but legible.

Inside were entries detailing the tragic history of the mansion's former owner, who had hidden his dark secrets within the very walls of his grand estate. Sarah pieced together the clues, eventually discovering a secret passage leading to a room where she uncovered evidence linking the current heirs to past crimes.
