If you're writing a short story, it's sometimes best to write about things you know. For example you could write about a relationship that developed on Yahoo answers between two or more (the 'or more' bit could be the twist) unusual characters.

If you don't fancy doing that, think about other things you know about, if you do Saturday job or an unusual hobby use this as a setting for your story. If you like to read a certain type (genre) of book such as horror or adventure have a go at using things that often happen in that kind of book (conventions) in your own story.

I often find when constructing a story it's helpful to write a beginning and then an end or scene from somewhere in the middle of the story. I then ask myself how my characters could have possibly made it from the first point to the next point and write that in. It creates plot twists and keeps you and hopefully your reader interested.

Remember, if you are bored writing it, then your reader will be even more bored when they read it. There is no greater crime in writing than to be boring.

You need to get a good beginning. Something intriguing, like an open door leading to somewhere unknown. Remember you need to have thought out the beginning, middle and end before you start, plan it a bit. If you just launch in it won't be as good. Something unknown that the reader has to puzzle out is good, a plot which they can't see. Try to be original as well. Here are some ideas off the top of my head:
A journey, quest.
Exploration, you could have a deep dark jungle, or a door leading to an exciting place.
Getting lost, what happens to you.
Trial of life and death

You could set the story somewhere exciting and exotic. This makes it seem more mysterious to readers who may have lived in England all their lives and never visited the country. Research your topic.

How about "A walk in the graveyard"....(Not always spooky, I came up with an unusual poem of almost 100 lines, on this topic and it has been performed by a writing group at readings several times, by popular demand.)

i wish i'd asked this question when i was doing a similar project for my AS english langauge course, instead i chose to basically copy the opening of Predator

why not write an additional chapter or sequel (or prequel) to one of your favourite books/films/tv programmes etc...i thought about following Alan partridge series 2 with a story, but i didn't!

good luck!
