Do you have any concept as to what constitutes a short story?
Apparently not.
Use the OP as a guide, a very good example, even if I do say so myself.
The word limit is 200, though try and make it as short as possible.
It's a writing exercise one of my tutors gave us, the objective is to write the shortest possible story, "headline" (in our case) including as much crucial information as is possible.
Good luck!
