A tale or sketch. Nathaniel Hawthorne wrote a book of short stories called "Twice Told Tales." Washington Irving wrote a book of short stories entitled "The Sketch Book." Even Edgar Allen Poe referred to short stories as tales. Later as the form became more popular the term short story was adopted.
