Prophet Of Doom

I'm reading Stephen King's Mr. Mercedes right now. At the end of a recent chapter he did the thing that he does in his novels that I love more than anything else that he does. He ended a chapter saying, "He thought, I'll have to do that when I get home tonight, never having any premonition that he wouldn't be coming back."

Now, while that was true, it wasn't the dire prediction that it sounded like it might be. I have always loved when King does this, and I find myself doing it in my own writing too. In fact, I did that today during the 582 words I wrote on my story. Anybody else love this? Or hate it? Should I keep it up or does it make my writing less enjoyable, less good?
