Just curious. What length would you describe a short story? I've just seen the Short Story 2014 competition for W&A and the word limit is 2000 words.

Im currently working on a short story, but im already at 1500 words and not close to finishing, so I was just curious as to what lengths different types of stories would be?

Its possible this question has been asked before so sorry for asking again!!

Short stories have no set length. It's more about how it is written. Sorry if this isn't much help.
