There's no one - size - fits - all answer. However, typically a short story can range from 1,500 to 30,000 words. For a very short short story, like a flash fiction, it could be as few as 500 words. It really depends on the genre and the complexity of the plot. If it's a simple, slice - of - life story, it might be on the shorter end. But if there are multiple characters and sub - plots, more words would be needed.

The words 'hush', 'rustle', 'creak', 'shadow', and 'ember' are great for short stories. 'Hush' can immediately quiet the scene and draw the reader's attention. 'Rustle' is perfect for describing the movement of leaves or fabric, adding a touch of realism. 'Creak' gives a sense of something old or in need of repair, like a creaky door in a spooky old house. 'Shadow' can be used to create a sense of mystery or danger, and 'ember' can represent a dying or fading element, like the last embers of a fire.
