A short story is a short work of fiction. Fiction is about imagined events and characters.

Stories are composed of basic elements such as setting, characters, plot, conflict, and theme. Being able to identify what each of them contributes to the story helps you understand the story's structure and meaning.

A character is a person, or sometimes even an animal, who takes part in the action of a short story or other literary

work.

The setting of a short story is the time and place in which it happens. Authors often use descriptions of landscape, scenery, buildings, seasons or weather to provide a strong sense of setting.
