(Stories and novels) القصص والروايات
الرواية هي سرد نثري طويل يصف شخصيات خيالية أو واقعية وأحداثاً على شكل قصة متسلسلة، كما أنها أكبر الأجناس القصصية من حيث الحجم وتعدد الشخصيات وتنوع الأحداث، وقد ظهرت في أوروبا بوصفها جنساً أدبياً مؤثراً في القرن الثامن عشر، والرواية حكاية تعتمد السرد بما فيه من وصف وحوار وصراع بين الشخصيات وما ينطوي عليه ذلك من تأزم وجدل وتغذيه الأحداث
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.

The Client    

Mark, an eleven-year-old, and Ricky, his younger brother, are walking down a path
into the woods behind their trailer park. Mark promised Ricky to let him try smoking,
since Ricky caught Mark stealing their mother's cigarettes and threatened to tell. Mark
reminds Ricky of the two rules they agreed on. First, only one cigarette is allowed per
day. Second, Ricky can't tell anyone. Mark also warns Ricky not to inhale. Mark is
very mature for his age. He hit his Dad with a baseball bat to make him stop beating
his Mom, when he was seven. He was his Mom's confidant and testified in court for
her during the divorce trials.
As the boys fiddle with their cigarette, a black Lincoln pulls into the clearing, thirty
feet from where they stand. Mark and Ricky stop smoking and watch. A chubby man
gets out of the car, opens the trunk, pulls out a hose, and sticks one end of it into the
exhaust pipe. He puts the other end into the crack in the left rear window and gets
back into the car. Mark explains to Ricky that the chubby man is trying to kill himself.
Ricky is scared and begs Mark to leave, but Mark insists they have to stay and do
something to help the man. Mark crawls over to the car and pulls the hose out of the
exhaust pipe. Five minutes later, the chubby man gets out of the car. He grips a bottle
of whiskey, cries and mumbles, as he pushes the hose back into the pipe.
