Most of the stories that I've written come from a "what if" question that I had thought about. Some of them I really like the ideas of, such as The Nothingness in the Center of the Room. While others I don't think worked that well, but all of those I've pretty much deleted and they will never see the light of day again.

Another way to get inspiration for a story is to pull it from real life. Jenna is a story that is very personal for me, because I've pulled from some real life experiences to write it. It is sometimes hard for me to write about things that happened in real life, but I do tend to put those kind of things in each of my stories. Something from all my stories was pulled from something that I've seen or heard of in my life. It could just be because I've based a character on someone that I've meet before, or it could something that had happened to me.

Those are the two main ways that I come up with ideas. And I think they can make your story a little stronger, because they make you think about it more, or you've lived though it. Anyway, hope this helps, and thanks for allowing me to do a shameless plug.
