You should really add a definite plot to this. A plot doesn't necessarily have to be embedded in a story; it could simply be an idea. Try reading through other short stories to try to get the hang of how it's done. Like this story. It's short, and creepy, and sticks to the point.

Keep a simple idea, and build another around it, so you have two interesting plotlines. To keep it short, don't sink into details about the creepy stuff. Leave that to the imagination.
