"All things were full of horror and affright,
And dreadful even the silence of the night."

Virgil
Aeneid (29–19 BC) - Book II

THE THING ON THE ROOF by Robert E. Howard is a flash fiction piece of classic horror, which appears to center around an ancient mummy, but the end reveals something much worse.

There's not much in the way of dialogue or action, but the suspense is well-done.

As always,
