Answer:

Look for ways to show events and interactions through dialogue.

Step-by-step explanation:

A short story has a limited length that does not allow for large developments, subplots, and narrative exposition.

However, through inventive dialogue and character interaction, a writer can subtly illustrate theme, exposition, and setting in fewer words, which makes the story far more compelling and interesting to read.
