Well consider if your imaginative piece was a short story. A story has to have a title, all professional ones do, just as all professional feature articles do.
I don't see why you'd conclude one needs one, and another doesn't.

Actually, many short stories are untitled! often just called "a fragment" or "short story" or just have an authors title

The contrast is really quite amusing. Those who did not title their stories are so certain that they will not lose marks or that no marks will be gained. Those who did title their story trying to convince themselves titling their story will get them a mark.
I titled my story just because I felt it was appropriate. I didn't expect to gain a mark in doing so, I particularly find it hard to believe you would lose a mark for not titling your story.

It didn't say burning, it was a small blue paper you had to sign. On it were a few points to the tune of:yeahhh, never titled a creative in my life, and i've always done really well..

My short story was about some guy who's girlfriend died of cancer in the year 2014 or something. So he goes to a "real film noir type cyber-punk meets steam-punk, megaton from Fallout3" style city and joins some depression cult, that talks about their problems.
