Wrong Address : Best Horror Story of 2025

This story is about Prashant a normal guy whose desperate attempts made him regret the most. It all started when Prashant’s father died leaving his with a mentally unstable mother and a young sister, being the elder one he had to take responsibilities in his own hands. Perhaps he left his studies and started doing odd jobs at different places but the money he was earning was too less to fulfil the basic needs of his family they barely ate twice a day. One day while Prashant was coming back from work accidentally he met an old friend who was also going through similar challenges told his to join his company where he was working as a delivery agent as there he was getting ample amount of salary, so Prashant agreed and from the next day he started working there. As he was new to the whole delivery System thing so his friend and colleagues tried to help him but he was too overconfident so collected all the assigned parcels and Left for delivery. When he came back he was too happy that he delivered all the parcels and was wondering that whether others will be back too or he would be the only one who might have came the earliest but as he arrived his Superviser told his that all his other colleagues went for their 3rd round of deliveries. Just after that his friend came and saw Prashant’s Disappointment on his face and told him not to worry as it was his first time and asked his how he did the deliveries, so as Prashant told him that he picked the parcels one by one and accordingly he delivered all of them, hearing this his friend asked did you sort the parcels according to their addresses or not and got to know that Prashant was running all around the city back and forth. So he told him to do this in the format that the work to become easy and so that Prashant to be able to do more and more so that he can get incentivised. After this Prashant picked up the next batch of parcels, sorted them all first and told his friend that he will do this right this time and will do the maximum number of deliveries. So after that when he was almost about to deliver all the parcels Prashant receives a call form his friend asking what’s the status and very cheerfully he tells him that he is on the way to deliver his last parcel but its delivery address it a little faraway so as the friend asked him not to deliver as it already too late but Prashant disagrees and goes to deliver the last parcel. This address was on the outskirts of the city and as Prashant saw the building it seemed to his as a place where now no one lives but from a window there was some light which was peeping out so he takes a look on the address and as mentioned it was to be delivered on the first floor so he climbs up the stairs and gives a knock on the door but no body replies again he gives a sharp knock on the door and after that he was able to hear some noise coming from inside and when he was about to knock for the third time the door opened by itself. Inside he saw a very dirty apartment all covered in ash like dust almost as if some fire must have broke out at some point of time here long back but just then he saw chair in the middle of the living room on which a old person was sitting, so he said hello sir my name is Prashant and I am hear to deliver this parcel of yours but the old guy didn’t answer anything so he repeated himself and then the old guy pointed toward a table as Prashant entered the door and the door shuts behind his back by itself and as he places the parcel on the table and looks around for the old guy there was no one around just a old apartment all burnt up so he calls up for attention asking is any body else is here as he needed a signature that the parcel is accepted. But again no one just a faint weeping sound lurking out of a room, he was little hesitant at first but he gathered him self and went near the door of the room and saw a women sitting on the bed arms folded and head down all covered with her hairs so as he asked mam are you alright but no response he started to feel the awkward situation he was getting into so he turned around and saw that the same old guy standing in the other room’s balcony and jumps off the railing. He runs towards the railing looking for the old guy but as he peaked down there was no one, by this he got freaked out and understood that this is not normal so he ran toward the door from which he entered but saw there is no knob to open it, so he starts banding the door that some body to help and get him out of there but it seemed as if there was no one. Disappointedly he turns around and now he can see a man in his late thirties half burned up standing in a corner, he calls his telling that I am Prashant sir I came here to deliver a parcel, now I want to leave but the gate is not opening can you please help me get out of here, again no response as if he can’t hear Prashant at all. So Prashant starts looking around again and notices that there is a key hole on the door but keys what about the keys he can only get out if he finds the them so he turns around looking for it and saw the old guy back on the chair surprisingly. Desperately he goes toward the old man asking for help but seemed like no one in this apartment can hear him then from another rooms he saw a kid crawling out towards his it looked as if the kid had a face of an adult but a body of an infant and it seamed like as he can see and hear Prashant so as he points toward a rack telling his for the keys. Prashant sprints toward the rack looking for the keys and finds full bunch of keys and sighs finally goes straight toward the door and starts trying all the keys one after another but no luck he turns around and saw there was again no one there but it seams as if a sharp tinkling of keys coming from the room where he saw the weeping women so he goes inside that room but as he enters that door also shuts by it self and now he gets so frightened he forgets about the keys and starts banging the door again and he do not want together stuck in this room and then only he hears whisper on his ears saying there is no going back and the door opens and he runs out of the room but still he doesn’t have the keys to open the main gate to he again bangs on the gate but his time he can hear some one on the other side of the door so he peeks from the key hole and saw that some one is standing on the door so he shouts that hey my name is Prashant I came here to deliver a parcel and now I am stuck here can you please help but in response he hears back the Exact same words said from the other side too and it seemed as if from the key hole the other side to be just alike and the person he can see was himself only asking for help now he was extremely terrified that he got himself into serious trouble and started loosing his mind and then h thought there is no way out of here but then he remember that he can jump off the balcony its just the first floor not that of big deal so he progresses towards it and again he saw the old man jumping and it seamed like this is the only way out so he also jumps but instead of getting to the ground floor he lands in the living room itself he tries the same a couple of times but just the same now he was depressed that he is stuck here for ever
