I am busy with my computer. I am writing a horror story to upload on Storystar. It has been half an hour and I am still typing.
Suddenly, I hear the printer start. I am about to press the switch, but to my surprise, it's already turned off! An image starts coming out. It's an image of my home.
I ignore it and continue typing. After few minutes, another image starts coming out. I watch curiously. It's an image of my room from the outside.
Now I've started feeling nervous. I walk towards the door and open it. There's nothing.
I hear the printer start again. I run back to it. It's an image of me from the backside, standing near the printer. I quickly turn back.
Nothing.
I am sweating. I can now predict what will happen next. I know that it will be better if I get out of my home. But I am feeling curious to see the next image. F‌inally, I decide that I'll run out of the room as soon as I see the image.
The printer starts. An image comes out. Phew, it's just a black page. Completely black. I wonder what it means.
The lights go off and I hear the door shut.

08/15/2020Pratik,
Could you get any more "story" in any less words? I don't think so. This was just brilliant. The reader is captivated and wonders what happened...in less than three hundred words. Mind boggling. Wonderful!
Congrats on the Award...well deserved. Smiles, Kevin

06/21/2020That was a lot of scary fun, Pratik. And you did a great job of building up suspense in such a short story, and to keep the reader guessing, breathlessly, about what might happen next. Good job! Thanks for sharing your short scary story on Storystar! :-)

06/21/2020Whoah Pratik! So your horror stories are as lovely as your comedy ones.
Your management on two different genres is really amazing.
Hoping to see what your next one will be like!!!

Honestly telling pratik i find some of your comments, like about planets and aliens very interesting. I would love to read a story about aliens and all that from you.

06/21/2020As long as I remember, I've commented 2 stories about space:
1. Below Surekha's story 'They love you but...'.
2. Below my story 'High School Days'. I think you haven't read this one.
I will think of a story about aliens and all. I don't know if it will be a serious one or a funny one like these two. It will not be my next story. But I'll definitely write one some day. I'll let you know when I do that.

06/21/2020Thanks to both of you. Helsa, read Chaitali's stories too. She writes amazing. I loved her 'Abandoned Hills' and 'Who was on the other side?' the most.
Again, thanks thanks thanks thanks a lot. Stop speaking about me now.
Peace.
