This is a pretty nice story to start the morning to. I like the use of routine and the way the protaganist's paranoia is perfectly in line with his worldview; and even as we get used to it, there's a really unpleasant gnawing feeling that something bad is going to happen. When the actual horror hits, it's fast and knife-edged and all the better for it.

My absolute favorite line is that he wasn't even granted the dignity of seeing his killer - it just worked so well with how the pasta could've built up to hyper-realistic blood, spooooky relatives or poltergeists, or any number of other things. Instead... Yes. Quite nice. Lauristinus, for taking a knife to the gut in good humor and writing something dealing with an ordinary fear, something made more frightening by the fact that even as I type, the lamp to my right seems to have shifted slightly.
