Here is a short story I wrote for you. I hope you like it.
The Unexpected Guest
Alice was having a quiet evening at home, reading a book and sipping tea. She had no plans for the night, and she liked it that way. She enjoyed her solitude and her simple routine.
She was startled by a knock on the door. She checked the time and saw that it was past nine o’clock. Who could it be at this hour? She wondered. She got up and walked to the door, feeling a bit nervous. She looked through the peephole and saw a man standing outside. He was wearing a dark suit and a hat, and he had a briefcase in his hand. He looked familiar, but she couldn’t place him.
She opened the door slightly and asked, “Can I help you?”
The man smiled and said, “Hello, Alice. I’m sorry to bother you, but I need to talk to you. It’s very important.”
Alice felt a surge of fear. How did he know her name? She tried to close the door, but he pushed it open and entered her apartment. He locked the door behind him and said, “Don’t be afraid, Alice. I’m not here to hurt you. I’m here to help you.”
Alice backed away from him and said, “Who are you? What do you want from me?”
The man took off his hat and said, “You don’t remember me, do you? I’m your brother, James.”
Alice gasped. She hadn’t seen her brother in over ten years. He had disappeared one day without a trace, leaving behind a note that said he had to go away for a while. She had tried to find him, but he had vanished from the face of the earth. She had given up hope of ever seeing him again.
She stared at him in disbelief and said, “James? Is that really you?”
He nodded and said, “Yes, Alice. It’s me. I know it’s hard to believe, but I’m here now. And I have something to tell you.”
He opened his briefcase and took out a folder. He handed it to her and said, “This is for you.”
Alice took the folder and opened it. Inside were papers, photos, and documents that made her eyes widen in shock. They were evidence of a conspiracy that involved the government, the military, and a secret organization that was behind everything that was happening in the world.
She looked at James and said, “What is this? What does this mean?”
James said, “It means that everything you know is a lie, Alice. You’re not who you think you are. You’re part of something bigger than yourself. Something that could change the course of history.”
Alice felt dizzy and confused. She couldn’t process what he was saying. She said, “I don’t understand. What are you talking about?”
James said, “Alice, you’re not my sister. You’re my partner. We’re spies.”
