A short story is a concise form of writing and is simple to read. The length of a short story is below 10,000 words. Reading of a short story can be finished in a single sitting. There are only one or two main characters in it. It has everything that a proper, well-structured story of any length should have like a beginning, middle, climax, and end. Thus, it is smaller than a novel and less time-consuming to read.
