Short story is a fictional work which outlines one personality's inner conflict
or clash with others. It generally has one thematic focus.

The short story, as the name suggests is fundamentally'short' which runs in
length from a sentence to 4 pages, or to short stories that may be a hundred pages long.
And therefore , it shows the characteristics of both the short story and the
novel. Since some works overlap the definitional lines of the three forms of
fiction specifically short stories, short story, and novel, it is better to think about the
term as approximate instead of absolute.

Short stories usually produce in the reader an emotional and intellectual
reply. Books, to the contrary, typically represent conflicts among many
characters developed through diverse episodes, which stimulate a complexity of
replies in the reader.

Short Tales vs. Modern Short Story:

It is fascinating to learn and differentiate short tales and the modern short
stories. Short tales return to the start of human speech, and some were
penned by the Egyptians as way back as around two thousand B.C. They basically
dramatize a simple theme and subject and give stress to account over
characterization. The modern short stories, on the other hand, emphasize
language, characterization, mood, and style over the account itself.

Distinction Between Commercial and Literary Fiction:

Commercial and literary fiction also needs to be differentiated within the
short story idiom. Commercial short fiction, From O. Henry to Stephen King, has
traditionally employed predictable plot formulas, depicted stock characters,
conflicts, and superficial themes. Literary short fiction on the other hand
employs complicated techniques in order to show the irresolvable problems of the
human predicament.
