Hi, Husain!
Though I won't write your short story for you, as it's against the academic honesty policy to answer a question directly for a student, I will give some thoughts and prompts that may help you in answering it if you still need the advice.
I'm assuming these are vocabulary words, and so probably most of them are new to you. Take a look at the list and first identify which words are new and which ones you already knew. If you don't know some of the words, look them up first. I would also invite you to look up the ones you already know--there may be different definitions you didn't know, or the definitions provided may help spark some ideas for your story.
As you go through the definitions, see which words have resonance--which words seem like they might fit together? Are there words that come up in more than one of the definitions? Do groups of them set a mood or give you a feeling (a connotation)? Which ones are positive and which ones are negative, and which, if any, are neutral? Put the words together in groups or categories by thinking about these things.
Once you have word groups, think about what those word groups invoke--do they bring to mind an evocative picture of a setting or particular characteristics in a person? Are some of them in conflict with each other? Let your imagination run wild--it may help to use sensory details or imagery to flesh out your characters and setting. Who are these characters, where are they, what time are they in, what have they done, what has been done to them, and what are they doing? How have they interacted with each other and what are their motivations in interacting with each other?
I hope this helps get some of the creative juices flowing!
