Fantasies includes some of the most significant short stories written in English. In short stories, we generally notice a single focus and concentration on the conflict; the novels reveal a series of conflicts among numerous characters. For example, Faulkner's novel As I Lay Dying (1930) uses 59 monologues to describe the Bundrens' journey to Jefferson for burying the wife and mother.  His another novel Absalom, Absalom! tells the story  from several angles. On the contrary, in the short story 'Tennessee's Partner' Bret Harte concentrates on conducting the 'funeral'. A short-story writer avoids intolerably long themes, and the great power of the short story lies in the fact how precisely the author demonstrates the narrative gift.
