- The work focuses on one or more characters.

- The action is arranged into a plot.

- The story involves a conflict.

It isn't exclusive to fiction, but fiction writing has characters.

A plot is made of events that are given in a particular sequence. Again, it's not exclusive, but you need to have events to have a story.

Conflict is the thing the character overcomes. It can be external (a knight vs a dragon, for instance) or internal (a character overcoming feelings of shame from childhood trauma, perhaps).

What it isn't:

Fiction can certainly end unhappily (I would say that Great Expectations does not end happily, for example).

Events happening in real-life make the story non-fiction.
