My story is under nine thousand words where would that fit into.

Short story or novella?

Short story.

If you wanted to get really technical, the proper term is a Novelette. But the word count given is only for one award. Most publishers would likely consider that a short story (check every publishing opportunity to see their guidelines).

Ink is blood. Paper is bandages. The wounded press books to their heart to know they're not alone.

I have to agree. To me it seems like 9000 words (congrats) are not quite a novella.
