Answer and Explanation:
The genre of the short story "Between Rounds" by O. Henry is the short story.
William Sydney Porter aka O Henry (1862-1910), was an American short story writer.
"Between Rounds," the story of a missing six-year child, Mike, the son of a boarding house owner, Mrs. Murphy. It has elements of a short story such as:
being readable in a short time, in one sitting;
comprising a single event, a lost child, or a few connected events, the quibbling couple, the McCaskeys who live on the second floor of the boarding house;
being driven by a single or a few characters, Mrs. Murphy and the McCaskeys for example; and
being meant to trigger a single emotional reaction, in this case, sadness that a six-year-old child is lost.
His writing is vivid and he is good at using irony, paronomasia, metaphor, metonymy and exaggeration to make the story full of fun. He is a master of surprising endings, and he usually design story plots dramatically, and makes some unexpected changes at the end, which is quite out of readers' expectations.
His stories expressed the effect of coincidence on character through humour, grim or ironic, and often had surprise endings, a device that became identified with his name and cost him critical favour when its vogue had passed. Porter attended a school taught by his aunt, then clerked in his uncle's drugstore.
