As others have said, a story should be as long as it needs to be. That said, I often feel a little cheated after finishing a novella. I remember reading King's "The Mist" years ago, getting to the end and flipping through the book saying "Where's the rest of it?" That was very much a story cut off far too soon. I've read the unabridged version of his book "The Stand" several times, where others complain about the length of the abridged version, I find the 1150 pager to be just about right.
