Your story should contain as many as it takes to tell the story, no more and no less. A short story is between 1000 and 20,000 words. Anything longer is a novella or a novel. Anything shorter is called a short short story. If you are writing for a particular magazine, check the magazine guidelines to find out the length of story they need.

The number of words in a story can vary depending on the intended audience, genre, and purpose. However, a standard short story usually ranges from 1,000 to 7,500 words, with longer stories falling into the novella or novel length. Ultimately, the focus should be on telling a compelling and well-crafted story rather than adhering strictly to a word count.
