	Short story - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Short stories tend to be more concise and to the point than longer works of fiction, such as novellas and novels.
		Short stories have their origins in the prose anecdote, a swiftly-sketched situation that comes rapidly to its point, with parallels in oral story-telling traditions.
		Short stories are most often a form of fiction writing, with the most widely published form of short stories being genre fiction such as science fiction, horror fiction, detective fiction, and so on.

	MSN Encarta - Short Story
		Some authors complicate the structure of their plots with the use of flashbacks and flash-forwards; with a frame that encloses the story (a story within a story); or with subplots (secondary storylines) or double plots (two or more equally important narratives progressing simultaneously, usually converging at the end).
		The hardboiled first-person narrators of stories set in the big cities are often tough guys, as in James M. Cain’s “Dead Man” (1936), the many wisecracking stories of Dashiell Hammett and Damon Runyon, the more serious tough stories of Ring Lardner, and the literary stories of John O’Hara.
		The short story was once a common publishing staple; many women’s, men’s, and family magazines and some newspapers regularly published the form from the 1840s to the 1960s.

		The short story form ranges from “short shorts,” which run in length from a sentence to four pages, to novellas that can easily be 100 pages long and exhibit characteristics of both the short story and the novel.
		When the short story emerged as a genre in the 19th century, it was seen as something totally new and modern.
		The modern short story itself was once considered an innovation in fiction, and since the 19th century certain writers have pushed the edges of the form.

		The short story, as a form in writing, is prose writing of less than 10,000 to 20,000 words (and usually more than 500 words) which may or may not have a narrative arc.
		Perhaps the first short story written in the English language, the entry in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle for the year 755 AD gives us a good idea of what the core purpose of a short story might be.

	O.Henry
		The story starts out with a main character who is a reporter looking to interview someone about the legend of San Jacinto.
		The man then continues to tell how the story was passed down and eventually the reporter gets frustrated because of the man rambling on but not actually telling the legend.
		Some times his stories are so short and senseless they seem more like a minor episode of another plot rather than a story themselves.

	Return of the Great American Short Story?
		One can't blame the audience, then, if the publishers have made their own prophecy come true, and stories are now generally considered by the average reader as either something haughty, like a dern poem, or something lesser than a novel, or in any case something they're not going to buy.
		In short, the bigger and more profit–driven publishers have become — i.e., the more dedicated to the lowest common denominator — the fewer short story collections they publish, except, as I say, as glossing every now and then for some whipper–snapper–novelist–in–training, or as a sop to one of their major authors.
		Yates' pensive, character–driven stories about family relationships achieve a Chekhovian pacing and depth, and are a refreshing antidote to the cleverness so prevalent in modern fiction.
