Can you tell us a two-sentence horror story?

Varun Bhakay 'Hoping to receive your completed manuscript tomorrow,' said the mail from my agent. The Word document on my laptop titled "First Draft" was blank.

Varun Bhakay Thank you so much. I relied on Google Maps to help me with the layout and read up about the buildings and landmarks on the Internet. Certain books were a great help.

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Varun Bhakay I had just finished watching two films: Hardy Kruger's The One That Got Away and Tom Cruise's Valkyrie. Later that night, I just had a sudden flash of an idea and penned it down. I took it up from there.
