Confessions of a Keeper of Secrets

Shh, this is a secret.

The male lead is a criminal police officer, and the female lead is a reporter. The story is complete, with two chapters posted each day.

Spoiler warning: This is a very tragic story, a completely unadulterated bad ending.

It is a bad ending, a bad ending, a bad ending.

A short story, probably under 50,000 words.

Most of the story is told in first person. It will switch to third person later, but most, most, most of it is in first person.

Theme: It's basically a story about redemption.
