The Horse's Secret

The people of Troy heard knocking from inside the horse. Soft at first. Like fingernails

on wood. They laughed it off as the wind. That night, the knocking turned

into screaming. By dawn, the gates were found wide open. The streets were

soaked, doors torn from their hinges, homes left in perfect silence.

No Greek soldiers were ever seen. Inside the horse, they later found deep scratch marks—not

from men trying to escape… But from something trying to get out.
