Art refers to the product of creative human activity in which concepts are shaped and selected to convey an idea or emotion. A short story is an art form, a particular type of artistic activity and a product of the author’s imagination. Unlike novels that usually depict conflicts among many characters, developed through a variety of episodes, stimulating a complexity of responses in readers, a short story is a brief fictional narrative prose disclosing one character’s inner conflict with others having one thematic focus. It concisely presents events and stirs our imagination.
