A novel is a relatively long work of narrative fiction, normally written in prose form, and which is typically published as a book. The present English word for a long work of prose fiction derives from the Italian novella for "new", "news", or "short story of something new", itself from the Latin novella, a singular noun use of the neuter plural of novellus, diminutive of novus, meaning "new". Walter Scott made a distinction between the novel, in which (as he saw it) "events are accommodated to the ordinary train of human events and the modern state of society" and the romance, which he defined as "a fictitious narrative in prose or verse; the interest of which turns upon marvellous and uncommon incidents". However, many such romances, including the historical romances of Scott, Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights and Herman Melville's Moby-Dick, are also frequently called novels, and Scott describes romance as a "kindred term". This sort of romance is in turn different from the genre fiction love romance or romance novel
A short story is a piece of prose fiction that typically can be read in one sitting and focuses on a self-contained incident or series of linked incidents, with the intent of evoking a "single effect" or mood.

A dictionary definition is "an invented prose narrative shorter than a novel usually dealing with a few characters and aiming at unity of effect and often concentrating on the creation of mood rather than plot."

The short story is a crafted form in its own right. Short stories make use of plot, resonance, and other dynamic components as in a novel, but typically to a lesser degree. While the short story is largely distinct from the novel or novella (a shorter novel), authors generally draw from a common pool of literary techniques.

The Street Lawyer    

The old black man got into the elevator behind me. He smelled of smoke and
cheap wine and life on the streets without soap. His beard and hair were
half-gray and very dirty. He was wearing sunglasses, and a long dirty coat hung
down co his knees.
He looked fat, probably because he had all his clothes on. In the winter in
Washington the street people wear all their clothes all the rime. They can't leave
any of their clothes at home, because they don't have a home.
The old man didn't belong here. Everything here was expensive. The 400
lawyers in the building, who all worked for Drake & Sweeney, were paid an
unbelievable amount of money. I knew that because I was a Drake & Sweeney
lawyer myself.
The elevator stopped at six. The man hadn't pushed an elevator button. When
I stepped out and turned right, he followed me. I pushed the heavy, wooden door
of a big meeting room. There were eight lawyers at the table inside and they all
looked surprised. They were looking behind me, so I turned. My friend from the
elevator was standing there. He was pointing a gun at me.
