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 Pelican Brief    
The man who was waiting on the shore looked like a farmer.
He wore the right kind of clothes, and his van, which was parked
on the dirt road above the beach, was suitably covered in mud.
It was midnight on the first Monday in October, and for the
next thirty minutes he had to wait there. He stared out to sea. He
was alone, as he knew he would be; it was planned that way. This
beach was always empty at this time of night. No cars drove along
the dirt road.
The clouds were low and thick. It would be difficult to see the
boat until it was close. That was planned as well.
After he had waited twenty minutes he heard the sound of a
quiet engine from the water and then saw a black rubber boat, low
in the water, approach the shore. The engine stopped when the
boat was about thirty feet from the shore. The farmer looked
around. There were no people, no cars.
He carefully put a cigarette in his mouth and started to smoke
it. A man's voice came from the boat on the water: 'What kind of
cigarette is that?'
'Lucky Strike,' the farmer answered.
Satisfied, the man in the boat asked, 'Luke?'
'Sam,' replied the farmer. The man in the boat was Khamel, not
Sam, and Luke knew it.
