If you are struggling with a short story that is growing and growing like topsy, it is worth remembering that a short story is a slice of life. As such, you should narrow the time frame and geographical location of the piece. One plot, two or three characters and no more than two main locations should fit into a short story. If this is too tight a fit perhaps you should be writing a novella or a novel.
