Chapters probably began during the beginning of story-telling, with one chapter being what the story teller had lined up for the night. A one-paragraph chapter is probably what happened when the Story-Teller said, "No, I'm too tired tonight. Maybe tomorrow." but the listeners kept begging him. Sometimes used to separate parts of the plot, sometimes used to give a feeling of in-and-out consciousness (See: Misery), and sometimes used by inexperienced writers who fail to deliver a better-fleshed out story and only have one plot point occur. Experienced writers will usually avoid this, working in the important, if not unrelated, subject into a new chapter that progresses the story at a good pace. Legendary writers (like Stephen King) can put the one paragraph chapter to a good use to better give a certain disconnected feeling in the story. (Or can use it because who cares if you don't like it, it'll be on the best-sellers list just from his name alone.) It's interesting to note that not all one paragraph chapters are short. (Especially in Fan Fic where an entire story can be in one paragraph, if not one sentence.) A paragraph can last as long as it's talking about one subject, technically speaking. Sometimes, a one-paragraph chapter can be used to describe a chapter that has more than one paragraph, but only had content enough to fill one paragraph. Filler descriptions, useless dialogue, and off-topic ranting might bloat the chapter, but all in all, plot-related things would fit in one paragraph. The one-paragraph chapter usually leads to a sour taste in the mouth of a reader if they're going for the "One More Chapter Syndrome". Imagine knowing that your favorite book has 26 chapters (thanks to the table of contents), being at chapter 23, and then seeing all of chapter 24 (and even 25) in their entirety on the next two pages. |

One chapter in Something Wicked This Way Comes says simply, "Nothing much happened for the rest of the night." This comes right after the main characters have had a harrowing encounter with the Tarot Witch and right before Miss Foley falls into the carnival's trap, making it a Breather Episode of sorts. | |

In the ninth chapter of John Dies at the End, the narrator Dave is trying to figure out what he did in the forgotten half hour between getting home from work and realizing he's standing in his living room holding his handgun with one bullet gone. He eventually realizes he locked something in his toolshed in the backyard, and after careful deliberation, decides not to investigate. The entire tenth chapter is as follows: "Looking back, if I had gone in and seen what was in the toolshed, I would have put a bullet in my own skull one minute later." | |

As I Lay Dying by William Faulkner: There's a chapter consisting entirely of the words "My mother is a fish." It Makes Sense In Context...if you've been able to follow the incredibly confusing existential philosophy-speak up to that point. Similarly, there's a later chapter consisting of Cash's two-line winding thought that the coffin wasn't balanced properly, ending as suddenly as it begins as he realizes no one is "listening" to him. |

In Ella Minnow Pea, letters get banned with each chapter. The third-to-last chapter only has Ella noting, to herself, that almost all of the remaining letters are about to be banned, and the second-to-last opens with her trying, with the remaining five letters, to again write to herself to keep her own enthusiasm up before she notices something her father wrote that can be used to get the restrictive government to un-ban all the letters. | |

Gunnerkrigg Court has a one-comic chapter, titled The Break Out, which is implied in advance to involve a heist to steal Reynardine back from Annie's father. Instead, Annie tells her father she wants to have Renard back, and that he's her friend, and before she can even finish saying her piece, her father hands him back with barely a word. | |

The Night Watchman: Several chapters are brief, but the briefest is titled "Agony Would Be Her Name." It comes right after Patrice has told Thomas that she has reason to believe that her sister Vera was held in chains and is currently still being held captive by some very bad people. The chapter in question is only a single paragraph that starts out saying "The men smelled of hot oil, liquor sweat, spoiled meat, a million cigarettes..." and further says that "If she wanted to get away, she'd have to run through knives." It ends with the unnamed "she" hearing her mother calling to her. It's very heavily implied that the unnamed woman being held in such terror is Vera. | |

In Zero Punctuation's Top 5 Games of 2015, Yahtzee began by reminding his viewers that, as per usual, he would only include video games he'd actually reviewed. However, he had not reviewed Undertale, which was an extremely popular game, so before listing his Top games, he made a "review" of Undertale, where he said "Undertale is a good game".

The Captain Underpants series takes this to an extreme and turns it into a Running Gag: every book has a chapter called, "To Make a Long Story Short". Every book has what might normally be a long sequence condensed into three words, maximum. For example, the first book has a chapter that ends with the villain's hideout exploding. The next chapter consists solely of "They got away." | |
