Thank you ☺️.

You can call me Anamika. What should I address you as?

I have completed my masters last year. Struggling for a PhD seat. And you?

The badge is attractive, thank you, x.titli.x. Congratulations to the winners!

Thank you, organizers, I enjoyed the challenge of writing stories that revolve around phobias. You pretended that AubodroKhargosh's 15-word explanatory note for a 20-word story was its own story - that's a savage sense of humour!

So-So, I like how you created a sense of haphephobia with simple but effective sentences in this story. I especially like how the "washed" ... "wash" repetition brings out the "urgently" feeling.

2. He touched her hand lovingly. Disgust washed over her. She urgently needed to wash her hands!

So-So, this story effectively takes the reader into the claustrophobic space. Nicely written!

8. The door slammed shut! No escape! The thick walls seemed to be getting closer. Horror constricted my throat.

Sudharies, you managed to present several characters in a few words with this story.

8. Handsome man... Locked eyes...

Drew closer....

"Dance...?

Perceived shirt..

"Nope...."

His face fell

Friends scowled... "He's Hot"

"Excessive Buttons"....Nausea!

m4manju, this story nicely details the life of someone with anuptaphobia.

1. She dreaded her 30th birthday. No boyfriends yet! She spends sleepless nights thinking what if she can’t find one?

vaidharbhi95, the contrast between the principal character and others in this story effectively conveys how overwhelming ablutophobia is.

5. How people go on swashbuckling water adventures was beyond her. Akshita could hardly bathe without hallucinating about drowning to death.

HereAsMyself, when I looked up this story's reference (as I am unworthy of membership in the Bengali Literary Characters private forum), I chuckled at your sly humour.

5. 'Had your culprit been an ornithophobe, my pseudonym would have frightened him off.'
Prodosh Mitra smiles at the remark.

HereAsMyself, I am amazed by your creativity in this story!

6. Teaching in a school with a resident Basilisk isn’t easy, especially when your boggart is a mirror.

DelusionsOfNeha, this character's use of humour to cope with elevator phobia is refreshing.

1. Elevator door opens.

"I'll take the stairs."

"For 17th floor?"

"See you up there."

"How-"

"Rock climbing." She winked.

Aquabutterfly, the visual details in this story make it so convincing.

5. She felt them watching her at all times, their human-like eyes and wide smiles haunting her existence. Was this normal?

SoniRita, the abnormal reaction to something expected in this story is imaginative.

2. Snakes phobia so extreme that he had a heart attack when he saw snake on Lord Shiva's temple.

NINALOGY, I like your choice to arrange this story in this sequence to bring out how irrational the fear of solitude is.

6. The loneliness within him, silence of every moment he felt everyday, still remained, in spite of having 700 facebook friends.

Physics_girl, this story makes me want to know more.

5. She would have a room filled with trophies for her talent, but she never participated, in case she fails

Bee222, this is an intriguing situation.

2. Mortals have fears. Lord Phobos enjoys toying with them.

Until He falls for Harry, who only dreads fear itself — Him.

tournesol, this story puts a clever twist on phasmophobia, and the character's name is apt.

2. Swarup took a deep breath and smiled at the scary apparition in the dark. His therapist will be very happy.

I have added seven of my ten stories to this book, using the "microphobia" tag.

Thank you for taking out the time to review so many entries 😁. In the one that you mentioned among my entries, I left for the readers to imagine what talent would the girl have 😁 and just mentioned her phobia of failure.

Congratulations Physics_girl for runner up 🥳👍🏼!

All the entries were great and should definitely be read❤️❤️

Thank you. 🤗 You are a good writer. Keep it up 👍👍

Congrats Anamika and @So-So 🥳🥳

All wonderful entries by the participants. Some of them being eye-openers actually. Thanks for letting us read them.

Thank you Anju🤗

Bold- ekdum. There was so much variety too.

My job is telling the authors what the FFEs and FFGs felt (overworked in some cases) not tell people to make covers or something or to do stuff according to my whims.

We prefer having generic covers for the stories to make the FF section look like a library.

In the end, its the author's call and rest is upto the authors/other FFEs/ FFGs.

Well Anamika, you can call me by Simi (good name is Simantini). Oh that's great, you're interested to do your Ph.D in which area? I am done with my Ph.d, now doing Post-doc in Condensed Matter Physics.

Wow, so Simi, I, too, have interest in CMP esp in 2D materials 😁. Experimental though. And you? I thought your one would be this area by your UN😁😁

Oh great 👍🏼 I am in experimental field only. My area is not exactly my UN though, I worked in superionic solids plus energy storage mainly in my Ph.D.

Nice to hear that 😁😁😁. Finally so happy to get someone of almost the same area of interest 😁😁😁 .
