Trust is a fragile thing, easily given and easily shattered. In The Empty Promise: Stories of Broken Trust, 35 dark and haunting short stories reveal the devastating consequences when that trust is broken. These chilling tales delve into the lives of characters who believed in promises—whether of love, security, or success—only to find that they were all lies, each one leading them down a path of despair and ruin.

From the moment the promises are made, the protagonists are pulled into situations where their hopes and dreams turn into nightmares. In one story, a man is tricked into thinking he’s found the perfect life insurance plan, only to discover that it’s a scam designed to drain him of his wealth. In another, an elderly woman gives everything she owns to a charismatic con artist who promises her eternal happiness, only to have it all vanish when he disappears with her money.
