The Last Encounter

The Last Encounter" is a work of fiction. The story is about a burglar, who planned a furtive operation to rob an empty house. As he broke into the house, he was taken aback to find that the family left for vacation leaving a lady, presumably their domestic help, enslaved in the house. He left the house that night, but his qualm of conscience compelled him to keep coming back to help the lady escape from the confinement. The girl's narrative full of misery made him empathetic towards her. The next evening, as he returned to the house for a last time to take the lady away, he was shocked to realize that the girl mysteriously disappeared from the locked building. However, he accidentally found a diary written by the girl revealing unknown and agonizing truth. The diary narrated how the family she worked for tortured her and always kept her enslaved in her room. The burglar, determined to find the girl, surrendered to the Police along with the diary. He also wanted to expose the family members that apparently ill- treated their maid. Eventually, the Police investigation discovered a spine-chilling truth that left everybody baffled.
