What does a usual plot line of a short story include?

In general the plot line will include an exposition (explaining the background of the story); rising action (various incidents or actions that combine to bring the story to its climax); the climax itself (the point at which the various rising actions come together to the point in the story to form a crisis which must be resolved in some way); falling action (various incidents that combine to complete or explain the potential resolution of the climax) and the resolution itself where the crisis of the story is actually resolved.
