A jocular account.
A jocose anecdote. A jocose anecdote often involves some kind of humorous incident or quirk. For instance, it could be about how a cat always tries to steal food from the dog's bowl in a really sneaky way. While a jocular account is more like a story that is told in a joking, light - hearted manner. Maybe it's a story about how people in a small town always have the most outlandish ways of celebrating holidays.
Account. For example, when someone is giving a description of an event that happened, it can be seen as an account, which is also a form of story. It may be more factual than a fictional story, but still a sequence of events told in a certain way.
A short story can also be called a 'novelette' or 'fictionette'.
Well, another term could be 'heartbreaking story'. A sad story often makes you feel sorrow, and a heartbreaking story has the same effect. It can break your heart when you hear about the misfortunes, losses or difficult situations in the story.
Well, another term could be 'the denouement'. It's that part of the story where all the loose ends are tied up, secrets are revealed, and the final outcome of the plot is shown. For example, in a detective story, the denouement would be when the detective finally reveals who the killer is and how the crime was committed.
You might also hear it referred to as an account. An account gives a detailed description of something that happened, similar to how a story unfolds.
Well, another name for exposition could be 'background introduction'. It's used to set the stage and provide necessary context for the story.
It could be called the 'intro' or 'opening'.
'Throwaway read' is another way to describe it. This implies that it's not a book that you would typically keep or reread, much like a trashy novel which is often a one - time, not very memorable read that doesn't have a lot of staying power or literary merit.
Spooky tale would be one. It implies a story that gives you chills and thrills.
