An English short story is a concise work of fiction that typically ranges from 1,000 to 7,500 words. It centers around a single incident, character, or theme, providing a focused narrative that often evokes emotions and reflections. Short stories employ various literary devices, such as imagery, dialogue, and symbolism, to enhance their impact.
Unlike novels, which explore multiple subplots and characters, short stories distill experiences and insights into a compact form. They can span various genres, including drama, fantasy, and horror, allowing authors to experiment with style and voice while engaging readers in a brief yet powerful literary experience.
