The genre of Short Fiction is defined by its length, well, technically, its word count. Short, also called 'short-short' and (rarely) 'sudden' Fiction is exactly what the name implies. It can encompass any of the other genres, as long as it meets all length requirements. The challenge when writing within the short fiction genre, is that the end result should be a complete and interesting story.
As I'm discovering, brief yet satisfying stories are a challenge to write, and as a result, the majority of Short Fiction pieces rely on the use of a twist ending to add interest.
Authors such as O Henry and HH Munro grew famous for their works of Short Fiction.
