True History

Eleiney's breathing involuntarily turned ragged. Just earlier during the day, she was at the library reading up on the history of the town.

She had a vague feeling that the records had been fabricated. To her, they seemed too perfect.

And now that she heard the mayor mention the true history of the town, she knew that she had been correct in her assumptions!

She couldn't help but feel a little proud of herself, but at the same time, a foreboding feeling welled up in her heart, making her wonder what the true history of Stratford actually was.

Mayor Hobbs glanced at her with a knowing smile and said, "I'm sure you've already picked up on this, haven't you?"

Eleniey confirmed in her heart that this old man sitting before her knew everything that happened within the town.

How else would he know what she was reading in the library?
