I think the markers might be more interested in your analysis of the techniques than the accurate classification of the text itself :)

a short story, consisting of 6 paragraphs, as u've guys sed, its a reflective piece, there's comparisons drawn as well- past & present..
techs:
repetition, personifications, metaphor, imagery, fig. languages & nostalgic tone, etc... u guys should look at some of the RESOURCES: english>area of study... check some of the notes der. btw, do u guys have the booklet THE CONCEPT OF CHANGE? it have info on sky-high and other texts as well..
GOODLUCK on MONDAY everyone! gbless! all d best!

How about calling it a narrative? Since that is more sophisticated than a "short story". :)
