Ur question reminds me of my school and college days when we were assigned by the teachers to write short stories on different topics. Sometimes it could be written successfully and sometimes we had to seek the help of seniors, elders and teachers. These days Internet is rich source of information. Internet was not available at my time. So it was a very time consuming job to look for the relevant source for writing story. I suggest u to visit the following links. Here u will not only find short stories on different topics but u will also find tips of how to write good story and be a good story writer too if u wish to be. U shall be able to meet ur requirement if u surf these links thoroughly and consciously.

A good tip I got from reading about Kenny Loggins' reasons behind the songs is to carry a voice recorder with you at all times. I purchased a digital voice recorder that is about 1"x5", and I carry it around my neck. If an idea for words comes into my head, I speak them into the recorder. If an idea for music comes into my head, I sing it into the recorder. That gives you time to organize your thoughts later and put them on paper (well, these days, maybe type them into a computer).
Just sit and think about what you are trying to say, and try to organize it in the proper order. Blogging can help improve this if you heed the constructive criticizm and ingnore the idiots who just want to gripe. You might also try outlining your thoughts before writing/typing them. That works for some people, though I've never had much luck with it.
Love, Hope, & Peace,

Hey! I have the exact opposite. Just learn the effective use of similie, metaphor, dialogue, point of view... ... Plot structure and so on, and the rest will stem from that.
Take English Literature as a subject, or study it online. Join a FF PBP RPG. Something like that will help you learn the style of writing.
