What are the best short stories/ novellas you've ever read?

I'm looking for reccomendations, but you can praise them and analyse them and wax lyrical as you please. Under 100 pages would be cool; like Death in Venice.

My all times favorite short story writer is Akutagawa Ryunosuke.

“In a Grove” is simply a masterpiece, but I strongly recommend to read all his stuff you could find in your language.

The dandelion girl. This is a very short story. Pretty good even in spite of it's 15 or so page length.

(have to fill in the spaces yourself, 70 character word limit.)

You simply must read Metamorphosis by Kafka. It's very short but rewarding.

The Stranger by Camus is pretty good
i don't think it's under 100 pages but you should be able to blow through it pretty fast

I am a millennial and often read much longer stories. If we take existentialism, I love reading Sartre.

But Camus is really boring.

Ever read “Shambleau” by C. L. Moore? Han Solo’s grandpa picked up a cutie that turned out to be a cousin to Medusa.

Flowers by Algernon

In the Ghetto,
Where my soul did save,
Its final sleep,
In the Meadow,
Where they laid my grave,
And my mother did weep...

In my Ass,
Where the Black just came,
Its final cum,
In the Mass,
Where Mum did the same,
In Dad's bum.
