Is there any short story that I can find online that cover the absurd movement where life seem to have no meaning like in The Stranger or Waiting for Godot?

Kafka. If you want a short story with those themes go for In the Penal Colony

this is not the definition of absurd though

In the absurd movement, you realize that your life is useless and that everyday tend to be the same thing over and over...
Therefore we could say: life has no meaning

If your definition is different please share it.

your definition fits more existentialism to be frank. Absurdism is saying no to rules, conventions, logic and life.

I really don't even know where to start with you, that's how wrong you are. Even mentioning The Stranger and Godot in the same sentence confirms you're a 14 year old just discovering real literature.

The absurd is a conflict brought about by the meeting of two separate things. It arises from the conflict these two entities create upon their meeting. You describe the symptoms but fail to grasp the disease.
Absurdism doesn't explicitly say life has no meaning, just that we can never be said to objectively know it. Come at me scrublord

That's not absurdism, that's living in revolt, Camus argues for this as a response to recognition of the absurd.
