Sup anon, I remember your thread. My choice is still same

A Little Fable by Franz Kafka

>"Alas," said the mouse, "the whole world is growing smaller every day. At the beginning it was so big that I was afraid, I kept running and running, and I was glad when I saw walls far away to the right and left, but these long walls have narrowed so quickly that I am in the last chamber already, and there in the corner stands the trap that I must run into."
>"You only need to change your direction," said the cat, and ate it up.

The Gate of the Hundred Sorrows.

It's a Kipling story, and to me its his masterpiece. It's 3-6 short pages depending on the formatting, and it's so wonderfully exotic, serene, and hellish.

Tie between The Last Question (Asimov) and A Gentle Seduction (Marc Stiegler). Latter is incredible but sadly quite unknown. Both have terse almost poetic telling.

I bounce back and forth between "The Pool of the Black One," which is one of Robert E. Howard's Conan stories, and "My Kinsman, Major Molineux," which is one of Nathaniel Hawthorne's Tales. I'd say they're my top two. It all depends on if I'm a fantastical mood or a more realistic mood. Although "My Kinsman, Major Molineux" does have a somewhat fantastical feeling to it.

It seems a shame to relate base contemporary phenomena into sublime literature, but I cannot think of a better expression of the smouldering resentment at the heart of the 'incel' worldview than that given by Mr Duffy in the park, looking out over the city and feeling 'outcast from life's feast'. The incel is a perpetual Scrooge, peering through steamed up windows and seeing tables laden with Yuletide delicacies that were not prepared with him in mind and may not touch his lips.
