The six elements in the plot of a short story are:

Introduction/Exposition: This is the beginning of the story where the setting, characters, and background information are introduced.

Inciting incident: This is the event or action that sets the main conflict of the story in motion and grabs the reader's attention.

Rising action: This is the series of events that build up the tension and develop the conflict further.

Climax: This is the turning point of the story, the most intense moment where the conflict reaches its peak.

Falling action: After the climax, the falling action includes the events that occur as a result of the climax and lead towards the resolution.

Resolution: This is the conclusion of the story where the conflict is resolved, and loose ends are tied up.

"Anger management" is not one of the elements in the plot of a short story. It seems to be unrelated to the plot structure.
