A novel is a relatively long work of narrative fiction, normally written in prose form, and which is typically published as a book. The present English word for a long work of prose fiction derives from the Italian novella for "new", "news", or "short story of something new", itself from the Latin novella, a singular noun use of the neuter plural of novellus, diminutive of novus, meaning "new". Walter Scott made a distinction between the novel, in which (as he saw it) "events are accommodated to the ordinary train of human events and the modern state of society" and the romance, which he defined as "a fictitious narrative in prose or verse; the interest of which turns upon marvellous and uncommon incidents". However, many such romances, including the historical romances of Scott, Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights and Herman Melville's Moby-Dick, are also frequently called novels, and Scott describes romance as a "kindred term". This sort of romance is in turn different from the genre fiction love romance or romance novel
A short story is a piece of prose fiction that typically can be read in one sitting and focuses on a self-contained incident or series of linked incidents, with the intent of evoking a "single effect" or mood.

A dictionary definition is "an invented prose narrative shorter than a novel usually dealing with a few characters and aiming at unity of effect and often concentrating on the creation of mood rather than plot."

The short story is a crafted form in its own right. Short stories make use of plot, resonance, and other dynamic components as in a novel, but typically to a lesser degree. While the short story is largely distinct from the novel or novella (a shorter novel), authors generally draw from a common pool of literary techniques.

Bud, Not Buddy    

HERE WE GO AGAIN. We were all standing in line waiting for breakfast
when one of the caseworkers came in and tap-tap-tapped down the line. Uh-oh,
this meant bad news, either they'd found a foster home for somebody or
somebody was about to get paddled. All the kids watched the woman as she
moved along the line, her high-heeled shoes sounding like little fire- crackers
going off on the wooden floor.
Shoot! She stopped at me and said, "Are you Buddy Caldwell?"
I said, "It's Bud, not Buddy, ma'am.''
She put her hand on my shoulder and took me out of line. Then she pulled
Jerry, one of the littler boys, over. "Aren't you Jerry Clark?" He nodded.
"Boys, good news! Now that the school year has ended, you both have been
accepted in new temporary- care homes starting this afternoon!"
Jerry asked the same thing I was thinking. "Together?"
She said, "Why, no. Jerry, you'll be in a family with three little girls ..."
Jerry looked like he'd just found out they were going to dip him in a pot of
boiling milk.
". .. and Bud ..." She looked at some papers she was holding. "Oh, yes, the
Amoses, you'll be with Mr. and Mrs. Amos and their son, who's twelve years
old, that makes him just two years older than you, doesn't it, Bud?"
"Yes, ma'am."
She said, "I'm sure you'll both be very happy." 
Me and Jerry looked at each other.
The woman said, "Now, now, boys, no need to look so glum. I know you don't
understand what it means, but there's a depression going on all over this
country. People can't find jobs and these are very, very difficult times for
everybody. We've been lucky enough to find two wonderful families who've
opened their doors for you. I think it's best that we show our new foster
families that we're very ..."
