Short Story Topics – Rollercoaster Theming
Life is like a rollercoaster. A common analogy used to explain the ups and
downs of life. When thinking of this rollercoaster though, depending on
your experience you may picture a stand alone coaster. One in the middle of
a park, perhaps sitting next to a carousel or some other ride. Each are
enjoyable experiences as you enter the rides, but once the ride is over…well
its over.
Or perhaps you think about a slightly different experience. One where there
is a theme woven throughout the park experience and the coaster itself isn’t
just stand alone tracks, but maybe a mountain or a space center. There is a
preshow and a story. A feeling of being on a wild train or venturing
through a snowy mountain that is embedded in your mind upon entering and an
experience that continues even after the ride is over.

This is a very good way of describing the different ways to write a short story. This description is also kind of describing life too. So, a good way to write a short story might be to compare it to a life experience that has happened to you or that has happened to a friend.
