What are some really good short stories?

Posted by admin on February 27th, 2010 and filed under short stories | 2 Comments »

I need some really good short stories that have deeper meaning/provoke thought. They should be less than about 15 pages. THe less the better. I am compiling a book of short stories, and I already have a lot of scary/creepy ones, so preferably not those types, although if that’s all you can think of then that’s fine

Do you have these two? They’re really short, and they’re classics.

‘Sole Solution’ by Eric Frank Russell (3 pages) — just read it, there’s no way to do it justice with a summary. Incredibly thought provoking for anyone.

‘Answer’ by Fredric Brown (1/2 page) — google it. It’s so short, it’s all over the net.

If I remember any other thought-provokers, I’ll update you.
