Just as the title says, I would be interested in reading everyone's favorite online short stories. Please post a link to whichever story you promote if possible, and while it is probably fruitless to attempt this much control if we could keep it to online stuff only that would be cool.

To start off, my favorite online short story (and possibly my favorite ever, certainly in the top five) is Sweet Surrender. Not mine and I do not know the author.

I know Locke likes the story "Cut".

I started reading it, and enjoyed it a lot. I had to stop though because I just couldn't stomach it.

I like Neil Gaiman but he uses commas like nobody's business... It's irritating.

Calvin, you have a week stomache -- that story wasn't bad at all. Actually, I thought it was just a little strange.

Raia, it looks like rivka posted that a while ago and the link must be old. I found the story though.

After much reading and, in this case, re-reading, I have chosen my champion:

The Tell-Tale Heart b Edgar Allen Poe.

You know, I could have sworn that I posted links to a couple of short stories in this thread, but it appears that I was smoking the crack.

Had I posted in it, one of the stories that I would have posted would have been Howard Waldrop and Leigh Kennedy's One Horse Town. Man I love that story.
