How do you deal with a restrictive personal writing style?

I've wanted to write a sad short story lately, but my style is more built around fantasy concepts that strike me as cool in the moment. I've been trying for two days to put the story I have on paper but since it's so different from what I usually write I'm only about 200 words in and struggling to move foreward

Read more. And I don't mean just more fantasy books. I mean books in other genres. Read the classics. Fuck, even read some philosophy and poetry. Reading widely is one of the infinitely tantamount aspects to getting a feeling within you to write words that form sentences that form sublime movements.
