Can you give an example of a 'long e short story'?

There was a snake named Blaze. He lived in a cave near a glade. Blaze was very lazy. One day, he decided to go on an adventure. He slithered to a place where there was a huge cake. He was amazed by the size of the cake. He wanted to take it back to his cave. In this 'long a silent e story', we have words such as 'Blaze', 'glade' and 'cake' that follow the pattern.

Sure. For example, a short story could be about a man who finds a magic coin on the street. In just a few paragraphs, it can describe how he picks it up, feels a strange warmth, and then suddenly his day starts to change in unexpected ways. This is a short story but it can have a long - lasting impact on the reader.

Yes. There was a short event where a cat chased a mouse into a hole. But the long story is about what happened next. The cat waited outside the hole for a long time. The mouse inside was thinking of ways to escape. The cat's owner came and tried to persuade the cat to leave. This short chase led to a long - drawn - out stand - off between the cat, the mouse and the owner.

In literature, 'long story short' can be seen in many classic novels when summarizing the overall plot. For instance, in 'Pride and Prejudice', long story short, Elizabeth and Darcy overcome their initial prejudices and get married. When it comes to 'long short story', some post - modern short stories play with the concept. They might expand on a simple idea in more detail than a traditional short story, but not as much as a novella. For example, some of Jorge Luis Borges' short stories could be considered in this category as they often have complex ideas explored in a relatively short space but still feel more 'long' in terms of the depth of exploration compared to a typical short story.

A fairy tale could be an example. The long part could be the detailed description of the hero's journey through the enchanted forest. The short part might be the quick exchanges between the hero and a helpful animal. And the tall part could be the final battle against the huge, terrifying dragon.

Another one could be the story of 'The Odyssey'. A short version might be 'A hero named Odysseus takes a long time to return home after the Trojan War, facing many challenges along the way.'

Sure. A short story could be: 'The blue moon shone on the duke. He used his new juicer to make a blueberry juice. The flute music played in the background.' Here, we have words with the long 'u' sound in a short story.

One example could be 'The Wreck of the Hesperus' by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. While it's not completely 'lost' in the sense that it's still widely known today, there may have been earlier drafts or versions that have been lost over time. Another potential example could be some of the short stories written by lesser - known authors from the 19th century that were published in small - circulation magazines and then the magazines themselves ceased to exist, taking the stories with them into obscurity.

One possible example of a 'long tail short story' could be set in the music industry. Imagine a story about a music producer who starts a label dedicated to promoting unsigned or indie musicians (the long tail of the music market). The short story could detail how he finds these hidden gems, the struggles they face in getting noticed, and how over time, their collective small - scale success builds a unique and sustainable music scene that is different from the mainstream top - 40 hits.

A long shot story could be about a young, inexperienced actor who auditions for a major Hollywood role against hundreds of well - known and established actors. Against all expectations, he gets the part and goes on to become a huge star. His journey from an unknown to a big - name actor was a long shot but made for a great story.
