Al - Saadi , Iraq Abstract: The short story is a distinct literary form and genre that has a history that is not far off. Sometimes it comes devoid of time and space, and at other times, time and space are clearly embodied, and thus they are considered among its most important features, in addition to abbreviation and shorthand. In this brief research, we will address the short story that documents the facts of events and criticizes the negatives in general, and conveys the multiple life images of reality by choosing a short story collection as a model for the Iraqi writer Salim Jassem Al-Rubaie under the title: Good morning, Hilla, published in 2018 in Damascus by Tammuz Publishing.
