Is it possible to write a paragraph-long "prologue" for a short story?

The problem is I want the introduction to be in third person but the rest to be in first person, so can i just call the first paragraph a prolouge? Lol

Answer #1

sure- why not?

Answer #2

a prologue or a narration by your third party.

Answer #3

Of course you could. Just make it flow well. If you’re concerned it’s too short you could even extend it, but a paragraph would work fine too. Prologues don’t have to be super long.
