Not reallly and answer, but there is a Stephen King short story and movie where a plane goes thru a time warp, and only the people who are asleep survive. The other people are gone entirely, except for the metal things they were wearing or had in them.
That book is 4 unrelated novellas in one volume, but they’re referring only to The Langoliers. Assuming similar lengths for each one, we’re really only talking a bit under 200 pages.

It’s a good one!
I’m sorry, but 763 pages is epic territory.
Indeed it is! I apologize for leaving this out, it is just the first of the four short stories; The Langoliers. Much shorter!

I believe that anything above 50-60 pages is no longer a short story.
How many words on the page though? I bet I could squeeze it down to 50 pages with the right font.
