Broken Promises
[Note: This was originally a story called Time Walkers, but sadly that story was lost and this scenario can into my head. Sorry if it doesn’t make sense yet.]
We continued walking down the corridor of the catacombs and the smell once unbearable began to wither away. I wasn’t to distracted though I followed her and the small flame of fire she carried.
I wondered how old she was, what was the story behind The Woman of the Tombs? I was glad that she covered herself in her ancient robes cause I was scared to see her face. Not that I could so easily because her back was greatly hunched not of deformity but from old age.
