Ode to the short story

Okay, no ode. But, these are a few of my favorites:

Charlie, by Shirley Jackson

The Machine Stops, by E M Forster

The Jilting of Granny Weatherall, by Katherine Anne Porter

and...drum roll please...

My ALL TIME favorite, life changing - makes you think deeply short story:

The Old Neighborhood, by Theodore Dreiser

How could I have forgotten O. Henry? I love "The Last Leaf".
