Welcome to the 2025 short fiction thread! This is where we can gather to discuss all forms of short fiction. By which I mean, broadly speaking, short stories.
According to Encyclopedia Britannica, a short story is a "brief fictional prose narrative that is shorter than a novel and that usually deals with only a few characters". For the Oxford online dictionary, it's "a story with a fully developed theme but significantly shorter and less elaborate than a novel". I think those definitions will suffice for our purpose. Basically, if it's short and you feel like discussing it, this is the place to visit.
