I feel stupid asking this...

Ok so I need to know how to write a one shot. Like seriously I get the idea or whatever but my one shots always turn into never-to-be finished stories. Can someone please explain to me how to write a one shot so I don't get like... crazy and keep going and going..? please? it is a stupid question i know but like how do you end it or condense it down... ahh... so confused and bored...
Theres tons of cool contests I want to enter but they all include these one shot deals so I tried writing one to test myself and its like... I don't know how to end it. Help please?
