: Re: Writing a short story of less than 1000 words I' am used to write short stories, to quickly set a plot and develop the story, but this time I have to do it in less than 1000 words, which

If you're writing a story, regardless of length, then it has to have a plot and a beginning, a middle, and an end.

Character development and descriptions are less important here but should be enough to set the scene and give your reader a mental image of what they're "seeing"

In my opinion, 1000 words isn't that small a word count. I myself have seen stories starting from just 2 sentences (https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=2+sentence+horror+stories&oq=2+sentence+horror+stories).

I myself write a lot of 300 word flash fiction for www.writing.com which is always a challenge and really teaches you to chop and edit everything unnecessary to get a very tight but coherent story.
