A very sad short story is 'A Rose for Emily' by William Faulkner. The story focuses on Emily Grierson, a southern woman. She is isolated and has a rather strange relationship with her father. After her father's death, she kills the man she loves, Homer Barron, and keeps his body in her house for years. It's a story full of loneliness, decay, and the sad consequences of a repressed life.
One famous sad short story is 'The Gift of the Magi' by O. Henry. It tells the story of a young couple, Della and Jim. They are very poor but deeply in love. Della sells her long beautiful hair to buy a chain for Jim's watch, while Jim sells his precious watch to buy combs for Della's hair. Their selfless love is both touching and sad as they sacrifice their most prized possessions for each other, only to find that the gifts they bought are now seemingly useless in a practical sense, yet full of the purest love.
