Sure. Let's say there's a short story about a group of friends going on a picnic in a beautiful meadow. The way the author describes the sunny day, the delicious food, and the laughter among the friends makes it a swell time for the characters in the story. And as a reader, when you read this short story, you also feel like you've had a swell time imagining this wonderful scenario.
Well, consider a short story set in a small coastal town during a summer festival. The story details the various events of the festival - the music, the dancing, the colorful stalls. The characters are having a great time, which is a swell time. Reading this short story can transport you to that little town and let you experience the joy vicariously. It's an example where the short story creates a sense of a swell time both for the characters within it and for the reader.
Imagine a short story about a young couple's first date at an amusement park. The story is filled with their excitement, the rides they go on, and the little moments of connection between them. This is a swell time for the couple in the story. When a reader reads this short story, they get to enjoy that swell time as well. They can feel the emotions, the fun, and the magic of that first date through the words of the short story.
There might be a short story where a young girl tries to find her lost pet time and again. She searches in different places, meets various people who either help or mislead her, and through these repeated efforts, she not only grows as a character but also uncovers some secrets about her neighborhood. This shows how the 'time and again' element can drive the plot and character development.
Sure. Let's say a novelist takes a long vacation in a quiet countryside. This is his plush time. He has no distractions, plenty of time to observe nature, interact with local people and just think. During this time, he gets inspired and writes a best - selling novel. So, his plush time wins the story by providing the right environment and time for creativity.
An example could be a writing workshop where writers are given the task of creating the shortest possible short story, and they 'grind' away at their ideas to come up with something 'exceeding small'. Let's say a writer starts with a simple idea like a person seeing a flower. They keep refining it, removing details, until it becomes a very brief story about just the moment of noticing the color of the flower. That could be seen as 'grinding' to get an 'exceeding small short story'.
Sure. A person's life can be seen as an example. A person is born, lives through various experiences like going to school, falling in love, having a career. Eventually, they grow old and die. This entire life journey can be thought of as an 'eventual short story' of that person.
Well, 'a swell time' usually means a really great or enjoyable time. And 'a short story' is, of course, a brief piece of fictional prose. But together like this, it's a bit unclear without more context. It could potentially refer to having a great time while reading or writing a short story.
It could be the engaging plot or the well-developed characters that make it memorable.
One example could be in a dance competition. Two dancers are performing and they reach the peak of their performance, with all their energy and emotion, at the very same moment. Their movements, expressions and the overall impact of their performance culminate simultaneously, just like the idea in the title.
Sure. Consider a person starting to knit. When they pull the yarn (string), they start the process. As they keep knitting, pulling the string for each stitch, time passes. Before they know it, an hour has gone by and they've made significant progress on their knitting project, which is like the story of the knitting evolving as time passes.
As I said before, if it's like 'a stitch in time saves nine', for example, if your car has a small squeaking noise which might indicate a minor mechanical issue. Fixing it right away (stitching in time) could prevent a major breakdown (saving nine) which would cost a lot more to repair and might even leave you stranded.
In a tech startup, they need a specific type of microchip for their new device. They have a pre - announced release date. However, the microchip shipment is out of time. It gets held up at customs for some reason. Without this crucial material, they can't assemble the final product. This not only delays the release but also gives their competitors an edge as they were relying on being the first to market with this new device. Also, they might face financial losses as they have already invested in marketing and other pre - launch activities.
