When you put lots and lots and lots of sentences together, you have a novel. When you put not so many sentences together, you have a short story. When you put several short stories together, you have a short story collection, like the one I’ve just published, here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Playing-Silly-Buggers-Other-Stories-ebook/dp/B0851X1KR1/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=playing+silly+buggers&qid=1583439322&sr=8-1
