Well, in order to type a story with dialogue, you must have something before it that makes sense to lead up to dialogue. example:
They were staring, mouths hanging open at the large beast looming up in front of them. "What should we do," whispered laurel to her companion, obviously not wanting to provoke the beast by talking too loud. Gianna, who was also trying not to panic, replied, "I don't know... maybe of we don't move it wont see us...?"
Notice how, when there's dialogue in a sentence and the sentence isn't totally dialogue, there's a comma instead of any sort of . ? or ! you must also put quotes as i did up there in order to say to the reader that they are speaking. When people talk one after the other, however, you do this:
"Well, I don't know about that. Last time I listened to you we ended up here, facing this, this thing."
"Excuse me for living," replied Gianna, now angered by her friend.
Notice how, since they spoke one right after the other I started a new paragraph. That's what your supposed to do with dialogue. Any questions feel free to email at: teddibear16@gmail.com

Why do short story paragraphs only have one or two sentences?
A paragraph is 4 or more sentences, so having one or 2 doesn't make it paragraph. Short stories aren't short due to the number of sentences in a paragraphs, but to the number of pages in the story. If a student turns in a story to me that is only one or two sentences in each paragraph I hand it back telling them to write real paragraphs with a topic sentence and 3 detail sentences.
What is paragraph all about?
Paragraphs organize related information into units small enough to avoid eye fatigue while reading. Changing paragraphs indicates a change of subject...or at least an offshoot from the former subject. A few simple rules about paragraphing. If the paragraph is too long and unwieldy, look for a good place to split it smaller, just as you would split a run-on sentence into a few shorter sentences. While varying sentence lengths adds texture to story, and varying paragraph lengths will add visual texture to the page, too long in either is not conducive to reader appreciation. Do not mix the thoughts or dialog of character A with the actions, thoughts, dialog, etc. of character B. If B is moving, don't have A speak in the same paragraph. There are a rare few times when this is acceptable. For instance, you could have A speak, a comment about how B opens his mouth to speak and A hurries on to...more dialog. That's fine. You can mix the movements of A and B in the same paragraph, as long as there aren't internal thoughts or dialog involved. Many paragraphs have a give and take timing to them. In fast-paced scenes, keep paragraphs short and minimize dialog tags. In narrative scenes, especially those where there is a lot of introspection or description, you can indulge in longer paragraphs.
