The letter came on a weekday in a blue and white striped envelope. On the back it was sealed with a small yellow duck sticker. The pastel envelope was relatively harmless looking. It was the return address that frightened him.
For nearly a day he let the letter sit on the coffee table silently hoping if it might just vanish from existence or merely be a figment of his imagination. He went about his day normally. First he went into town to stock up on the essentials, then he went to the bank to ensure everything was in order. Everything in the day he took in his stride even going so far as to have a beer down at the hole-in-the-wall bar. Late in the evening he arrived home. There sat the striped envelope. Elliot felt himself become hot under the collar and he started to sweat on the cool night until he finally convinced himself to sit down.
