When I was a kid, I had to walk through a long, dimly - lit hallway to get to my bedroom. One night, as I was walking, I felt a cold hand brush my shoulder. I turned around quickly, but there was nothing there. I ran to my room and hid under the covers. Later, I found out it was just a draft from an open window, but at that moment, it was terrifying.

Sure. 'The Gift of the Magi' by O. Henry is a great one. It tells the story of a young couple who are very poor but deeply in love. They each sacrifice their most precious possession to buy a gift for the other. Another is 'The Little Match Girl' by Hans Christian Andersen. It's about a poor girl selling matches on a cold New Year's Eve. And 'The Necklace' by Guy de Maupassant, where a woman borrows a necklace for a party, loses it, and spends years in poverty trying to replace it.
