  Short stories areself-contained works of prose fiction whose function is to impart a moral, capture a moment, or evoke a certain mood. Short stories are often more focused, as all the elements within—plot, character, pacing, story structure, and so on—must work together towards this common goal. What is a Short Story?
• 36.
  A typical shortstory has a word count of anywhere between 1,000 words to 5,000 words, although, as always, there are exceptions to the rule. Flash fiction is a form of creative writing that can have as few as five words, while there is a gray area between short stories and novellas (which are typically 30,000 words or more).

The sun shone brighter that day. 👉 Exactly 100 words, tells a full story.

His friend asked, “Why does time travel hurt you so much?” He replied, “Because it’s a pain in the past.”
• 41.
  A short storythat teaches a lesson or moral, often using animals as characters. 4.Fable Example: “The Turtle and the Rabbit” – A classic tale about patience and perseverance.

  There are some commonelements across all fiction writing, but short stories specifically feature: 5 Things Every Good Short Story Needs
• 46.
  1. A clearlydefined mood or feeling. This can be a genre (humor, romance, horror); an idea (adultery, childbirth, life lessons); or an emotion (loss, grief, joy). Or it can be a combination—as long as it is cohesive, and the point is clear.
• 47.
  2. Clear, descriptivelanguage that sets up the concept of the story quickly and without being superfluous.
• 48.
  3. A smallcast of characters, including a main character and supporting character(s) who must serve a vital role in the story.
• 49.
  4. A strongpoint of view. Know from the beginning what it is you want to say with your short story. Ask yourself: what do you want people to feel or think as they read your story? Make sure this point of view is clearly reflected throughout the story.
• 50.
  5. Experimental elements.Short stories don’t necessarily have to stick to traditional storytelling techniques, which means that you can feel free to play around with certain conventions. For example, while the general advice is that every scene in a story should have a “turn”—shifting the emotional charge to its opposite—this doesn’t have to be the case in a short story. Don’t feel shy about breaking a few rules and see what works best for you.
