It records the facts of its events, and the fictional text is composed through its linguistic framework, with its temporal and spatial dimensions. Our study focused on how the storyteller employs the technique of the artistic place within the short story, an attempt to highlight the artistic and aesthetic value of the fictional place and its direct relationship with the elements of storytelling, especially the time represented by the past, present and future, which is the spatial distance in which the events of the story take place.
