What is Edgar Allan shortest story?

While there's no definitive answer to which is Edgar Allan Poe's absolute shortest story, "The Tell-Tale Heart" is often considered his shortest, clocking in at around 1,000 words.

However, Poe did write several very short pieces, such as:

* "The Raven" (although technically a poem, it's often considered a short story in form)

* "Morella" (a bit longer than "The Tell-Tale Heart" but still quite short)

* "The Black Cat" (another well-known story, but slightly longer)

Ultimately, it's difficult to definitively say which is his shortest, as the length can vary depending on the edition or the specific text used.
