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.

I know how hard it is to come up with ideas for stories when you are set them as homework. I used to hate having to do it. Here are my suggestions:

Since it is such a short story, have only two or three characters.

Tell it in the third person (he did this, she said that) rather than the first person (I did this, I said that) because it means you don't have to use up you sentences explaining who "I" is!

Use something that happened to you recently, but change the names and places. But if you are going to have a villain don't make him too easy to recognise. You don't want to make anyone mad at you.

Make sure the action takes off straight away and only have one main thing happening. You only have a few sentences! But if you run out of room,here's a trick to make two sentences into one. If you have two sentences that are vey closely related - for example "She walked quietly into the room. Everyone turned to stare at her." you can join them with a word (eg "but") or a phrase (eg "and, to her surprise,") or you can re-phrase both sentences ("Even though she walked into the room quietly, everyone turned to stare at her.")

Make the end clear. Don't just stop because you've run out of room! Have something happen that solves the problem/makes everyone happy.

Use situations that everyone understands - being unhappy, going to school, having a party etc. That way, the people who read your story will understand what is happening without you having to spend ages explaining things.

If you want to take your writing further, try and find collections of short stories in your library - or even on-line. See how other writers do it.

And the actual story? That's your call. But if your get time - let us know what you wrote!
