Short stories don't really have a plot as such, as they are too short to be able to have a plot most of the time. Something happens, then a little bit of action happens and then it ends. So it's better to keep it short and simple.

^ That's actually not true. Short stories do, in fact, have plot. They're just wrapped up quicker than longer works are. There are many good plots for many stories, but finding the plot is something that the artist themselves needs to come up with.
