I really don't want to come across as rude or discourage you from writing, but this is REALLY short. It's less than 200 words, shorter than most poems let alone prose fiction. By the time I'm done writing this comment, it will be longer than the story. You can see your entire file without expanding the Eka's reader or even scrolling. You clearly have a few people reading and requesting these, but you'd have a lot more people enjoying them (and a lot fewer annoyed) if you spent a little more time and effort on each one to make them fuller and more descriptive. Definitely more than just "Person was bored, they went and got gulped, The End." I see someone else suggested at least 1 page each - that means 12 point font or less, single spaced, paragraph format.

Or, at the very least, even if you change nothing about the way you're writing them now... Maybe consider bundling them into one post each day, with multiple of these stories in the same file? That way they don't take up so much room in the "Latest Writing" section on the home page. I know a lot of people get annoyed when that's flooded by one person, I've seen posts about it on the forum before. Most people don't regularly post 4-6 stories per day. That's a good rule of thumb too, by the way - if you're ABLE to write 4-6 stories per day, the stories are probably too short.

Ok.
