Same. Short stories are one of my favorite mediums of lit. A community college professor got me into them actually, by recommending and reading a Raymond Carver story out loud in class.

Have you read Madeline Miller's little short story called Galatea? It's 20 pages and vaguely reminds me of The Yellow Wallpaper. It's a retelling of the Greek myth of Pygmalion.

I haven't read that! Is it available anywhere online? A lot of short stories are.

I have read Circe, though!

I couldn't find a pdf anywhere unfortunately. And Kindle wants $10.99 for it. A 20 page story. That's insane. But check your DM here and I may be able to help you :)
