What are the most emotionally powerful short stories you've ever read, /lit/? I read Patriotism by Yukio Mishima and I just can't get enough.

Three stories written by one member of our community. Each one strikes a chord and showcases an amazing talent. The funny thing is, its that this guy is offering these as exclusives to the /lit/ community and the quality level. I do not think I have ever read a short story that captured my attention quite like this man's stories do. Here's to hoping he showcases more of his talent soon.
