Can you recommend some good short short stories?
Sure. 'The Gift of the Magi' by O. Henry is a great short short story. It tells the story of a young couple who are very poor but sacrifice their most precious possessions to buy gifts for each other at Christmas. Another one is 'A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings' by Gabriel García Márquez. It has a unique and magical plot that makes you think about human nature and the perception of the unknown. And 'The Lottery' by Shirley Jackson is also famous. It has a shocking ending that reveals the dark side of human nature in a seemingly ordinary small town.
There are many. 'Hills Like White Elephants' by Ernest Hemingway is a good one. It's mainly a conversation between a man and a woman, but it implies a lot about their relationship and a difficult decision they might be facing. 'Harrison Bergeron' by Kurt Vonnegut is also interesting. It presents a dystopian society where everyone is made equal in the most extreme and absurd way. And 'An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge' by Ambrose Bierce has a surprising twist at the end that keeps readers on their toes.
