Can you give some other words for short story?

Yes. 'Legend' can be seen as a type of short story, often passed down through generations and may have some elements of the supernatural or heroic. 'Myth' is also related, though it usually has more to do with cultural or religious beliefs. 'Fictionette' is another word for a short work of fiction, similar to a short story.

Another word could be 'yarn'. This is a more informal term for a story, which can be long or short. It gives the idea of a story that is spun, as if the teller is spinning a thread of narrative. For example, 'He told a long yarn about his adventures in the mountains.'

A farcical story. Farcical means something extremely funny in a rather absurd way.

Central figure. Just like in 'Romeo and Juliet', Romeo and Juliet are the central figures. They are the ones the story is mainly about, and their relationship and the events around it form the core of the play.

A witty anecdote.

Family chronicle. It's like a record or account of family events over time.

Yarn. This is a more informal way of referring to a story, often used when the story is a bit of a tall tale or something that might be exaggerated for entertainment purposes.

Narrative. It is a general term for a story, and when it's long and continuous, it can be used to describe what you're looking for.

'Spinning a yarn' is also a way to say telling a story. It has a more informal and perhaps even a bit of a creative or fanciful connotation. Sailors used to spin yarns (tell stories) about their adventures at sea, often with a touch of exaggeration to make the story more exciting.

Superb anecdotes. An anecdote is a short and interesting story about a real incident or person. 'Superb' emphasizes the high quality of these short stories, making it a valid alternative for 'good stories'.
