How about the story of someone lacking originality so much he/she had to ask others for ideas. The story about looking for someone else to create a story takes a very sad turn as someone else posts a copywritten idea which the person submits as his/her own. The police arrest said person in a very public place, and the person gets mistakenly taken to maximum security prison where, by a strange twist of fate, he/she only survives through swift original thinking. Later in life, after being released, the original writer stops at Yahoo Answers and answers the question, "Does anyone have an idea for a short story? Go crazy!"

you should write a short story over a normal person, their daily routine but how it has the few really good sparks in it. such as kindness towards others,
ex: he/she did a good deed early in the day, and luck just falls into his/her lap, reaching a high point at the end of the day with something really ridiculous like winning the lottery. and than the person wakes up...it had all been a dream. to end the story, let it go to the next day, and that the good deed that started the entire thing in the dream, let it happen and leave the reader wondering, if the entire day would repeat itself as if in the dream... *didn't mean to write a novel, just an idea out of hand...*

"I'd tell you, but then I'd have to kill you."
Ha! But no, seriously. I have ideas, but they are my ideas. I wouldn't tell you them because i am sure you would use them for your own personal gain, and i may actually use these ideas to write stories. But, to humor you, here is an idea i just made up:
"A writer struggles for many years to get his ideas out on the market. But one day, he comes upon an old manuscript of a story that has never been published. He publishes it under his name and reaps the fame for a year or so. Then, the grandson of the man who had written the story sues the writer. The writer eventually decides to not plagiarize again." Great moral lesson you should take into account.

Okay, here's an idea:
Once upon a time there was a monkey named Chester. He was walking down the road when he fell off the curb and got his face run over by a guy driving ninenty to nothing and did not stop to help. so from that day onwards Chester had to walk around with a plastic bag on his head. Then he choked and suffocated on the plastic so they had to do surgery to take the bag out of his lungs, but cut out his heart. To this day we can still see chester's stuffed body in the Smithsonian with a plastic bag half-way down his throat and with his heart missing, which got donated to an extra-terrestrial goldfish.
Lame, I know, but what can one do? You said go crazy!

how about you write a short story detailing how you convieve of ideas for creating your short story. Kind of like a personal memoir of a few days thinking of all sorts of crazy plots and ideas for the basis for the story, but it actualy is the story.

How about a short story about a person who finds that they have an exact double on the internet? They find out in Yahoo questions. They use the same name, give the same answers, everything. And one decides he has to do away with his double because he wants to be the only one. So he finds out where his double is, and sets out to destroy him

It's about a man, but not just any man. This man's name is Steve. Steve lives on a planet far away, why? Who the hell cares? But Steve has a problem, Steve's problem is that he is the only man on a planet filled with women. Why is that bad you might ask. Well, it's bad because all the women are feminist. Not just empowered women, Steve's all for those, we are talking full on man hating feminist. As the only man on the planet for them to hate, Steve has it pretty rough as one would guess. I leave the rest of the tale of Steve up to you. Do with it as you will.
