Jan - if you're being assigned , it means you wrote the puts; you end up long , not short , the shares. The other side exercised, and forced you to buy the shares from him - he "put them to you" so to speak.
If you want to end up short , write in-the-money calls on stock you don't own - it's a great way to end up shorting , and collecting premium too...works only on issues that aren't a "hard-to-borrow".
