For short stories I tend to like realistic stuff, or magical realism. Nothing too out there for just a short story.
If it helps, my favourite short story is "Sonny's Blues" by James Baldwin. Great read if you haven't done so!

@TeaMilk how the fuck did you find this? What is this? WHY IS IT INTERESTING ENOUGH FOR ME TO BOOKMARK AND READ THE REST OF THE STORIES LATER?

I highly recommend checking out more of his work. A lot of it is humorous but he occasionally delves into creepy/suspenseful territory.

I either can't find these, or they are too long for my smol brain to handle. I'm a bad reader, not very smart, and have the attention span of a goldfish. Or something.

I actually did a small project on this in high school. So absurd but I love it.

Sonny's Blues is one of my all time favorites.

I took a 400 level course in college called The Short Story. We read that one as part of the course!

Serously though this ad campain has almost hit raid levels of annoying.

Actual recomendation A Road Side Picknic or the Princess of Mars series.
