PlasticPaperTree: The Loss - struggling with loss
captainkodak1: She misses him - A short story about Alzheimer. Diese Kurzgeschichte wurde inspiriert von dem Lied "She misses him" von Tim Rushlow Technomad: Career, a Hunger Games story - The thoughts and viewpoint of a Career Tribute in the Hunger Games, a few games before Katniss' entry. Is a Career Tribute a monster---or someone who, in the end, had no more choice about what lay ahead than Katniss did? Last edited by BlueLion1; 03-11-2023 at 05:17 AM. |

Two titles immediately come to mind, because I love them:
1) Goodbye, My Brother - John Cheever 2) The Beast in the Jungle - Henry James The James' title is more a novella than a short story. Last edited by Dr. Drib; 03-11-2023 at 08:26 AM. |

For cat lovers, Jeffery Farnol's Cat Luck: https://www.fadedpage.com/books/20191032/html.php
He's in life+70 but this book doesn't appear to be in the library. The story linked above can be read online: just open the html version. Last edited by BookCat; 04-16-2023 at 04:39 PM. |

Really enjoy the short stories of Denis Johnson.

I picked up a collection of Robert Sheckley shorts on the strength of one of them (the titular Citizen in Space) having received a Hugo nomination back in the 50s. Many of the stories show their age a bit in one way or another, but the one I liked best, even more than the Hugo nominee, was Ask a Foolish Question, available for free via Project Gutenberg.

I expect you have already tried Alice Munro's short stories, but just in case you haven't, I thought I'd mention them.
