You had

  rewrite "^/([a-zA-Z0-9]{1,32})$" /index.php?short_name=$1 last;

For brevity here, let's just use "lower case letter" instead of "letter
or number", so effectively you had

  rewrite "^/([a-z]{1,32})$" /index.php?short_name=$1 last;

and now you want to also allow "-" anywhere except the start or end.

Does 

  rewrite "^/([a-z][-a-z]{0,30}[a-z])$" ...

do what you want in most cases?

And does

  rewrite "^/([a-z])$" ...

do what you want in the other cases?
