Where the Road Ends

by ExSpy

He took her in Mumbai when the streets were empty. What followed was not a rescue or a romance. It was a quiet claiming. Through abandoned houses in Madhya Pradesh, long roads under yellow light, and nights that blurred into one another, he kept her. He cleaned her. He made her swallow. He told her she was his to take care of. She rarely spoke. She only learned how to nod. By the time the road ended at the waterfall, the mist cold on her skin and the sound of water louder than anything else, there was nothing left to refuse. Behind the Waterfall is a dark, restrained story of possession, silence, and the slow erasure of everything that came before.
