BentoComics.com – A Short Ghost Story

Well, this weekly run of uploading comics to Bento Comics is coming to a close. After this story, there’s only one more story before the whole 8-week run is over. It actually felt like a really, really long time.

Rundown: Bento Comics is a new website that permits users to read and compile their own short story anthologies. It then prints the book at a printing company called Lulu, and delivers the personalised book to your door. A new publishing model, if you will.

Short Story of the Week: One of my earliest stories, but one which still holds some power. Why is it that ghost stories always happen in girl’s toilets? Here’s one that I heard from my sister many years ago.

E-book: Available on the right-hand side of this page, where it says “Ebook Available in .epub!”. It’s DRM-free, and Epub can be read on all platforms EXCEPT the Kindle. I’d like to charge USD$0.99 for this story (like iTunes), but the system isn’t yet in place so you can download it for free.

If you don’t have an e-reader like the iPad or Nook, you an download e-readers for your PC – here’s 2 programs you can download: The Adobe Acrobat eReader, and the Barnes and Noble eReader.

I wrote this story after hearing a similar story from my sister, involving a girl’s school toilets that had no mirrors. It was the only toilets in the school with no mirrors, so naturally people “talked” about it. Girls seem to love telling ghost stories about isolated places in the school, and my own high school experiences were no different, except that no memorable stories came out of my high school stint.
