A short story is a particular type of prose fiction in literature which can be read in a short time period. A story is any type of narrative, whether fiction or non-fiction and of any length, that describes describes a person, place or event.

A story is a broad term that can refer to any narrative, regardless of length. A short story is a specific type of narrative that is shorter in length than a novel or novella, typically ranging from 1,000 to 20,000 words. Short stories often focus on a single event or character development, whereas a story can encompass a broader scope.

About the same as between a a short story and a long novel. A short story is typically maybe three to ten pages. A long novel would be like Tolstiys "War and Peace" of which you should get a copy and read (or at least count the pages)

An essay will be more "formal" or "academic" in terms of having a thesis, introduction, body, evidence, conclusion, etc. It is organized by topic or theme, and by paragraphs with "topic sentences" and other such things. It's language is more formal, dry, academic, etc.

A short story can include dialogue, a narrator, characters, 1st and/or 3rd person perspectives, etc. If a story has a "thesis," it tends to be buried under various forms of symbolism, character development, conflicts and conflict resolutions. Rather than saying it outright like you would in an essay, you use characters and imagery to stand for something.
