I am working on a computer game right now. Therefore i need a story. First of all I want to write down the plot as a short story as the game has an emphasis on story telling!
So I want to check out how exactly a short story is written. It was a subject back in school, but that is long ago. Plus, perhaps some of you could share useful links or tips (on everything that could help with that issue).

Thanks in advance.

I can't tell you how they're written. That's up to each individual writer. But in terms of how they're structured...

Short stories tend to have a tighter, simpler plot structure. Conflict, Rising action, Climax, Denouement. No subplots, not many secondary characters, etc. You have one main character, who wants something. Your character makes a choice, takes action, deals with the consequences.
