Little Fable, by Franz Kafka:

"Ah," said the mouse, "the world grows tighter with every day. At first it was so wide that I was afraid, I ran farther and was happy that I finally saw walls to the right and left in the distance, but these walls draw near each other so quickly that I'm already in the last room, and there in the corner stands the trap into which I'm running." "You need only change the direction you run," said the cat, and ate it.

Read Bartleby, the Scrivener by Melville.
Quite extraordinary short work, as well being one of his more accessible works.

Thread is old at this point, but try Jack London’s To Build a Fire. It’s my favorite short story.
