YeahWrite Microfiction: The End of the Day

The postcard was handwritten in smooth black ink. “I’m not finished,” it read. My hand shook so hard, I dropped it back into the sink. On the reverse, there was no stamp. The sender and return address were the same. My house. Through the open bathroom door, I saw a shadow pass the bedroom light that I hadn’t turned on.

I really love the creepiness here. You do a very nice job of playing on the reader's fears of the unknown and unknowable.
