Sweet, thank you. :]
SCREAM 'till you feel it
SCREAM 'till you believe it
SCREAM and when it hurts you
Scream it out loud
How about The Secret Life of Walter Mitty for imagination vs. Reality? It can be read here, and is rather short.

So far I've thought:
Unit One
Characterization and Plot Developed Through a Journey
'The Rime of the Ancient Mariner' - Coleridge
Unit Two
Revenge
‘Revenge’ – Letitia Elizabeth Landon
Unit Three
Non-Conformity
‘Bartleby the Scrivener’ and/or ‘Benito Cereno’- Melville
Unit Four
Imagined Vs. Reality
'The Turn of the Screw' - James (not sure is quite short enough to count as a short story, but I thought I'd suggest it nonetheless).
I hope they are of some use, I'll add more if/when I think of them.
Oo and for Unit One you could use 'The Journey of the Magi' by Eliot.
Journey -- Maupassant, Boule de Suif (don't know what the English title is).
Revenge -- Poe, The Cask of Amontillado
Non-conformity -- Melville, Billy Budd
or Shirley Jackson, We Have Always Lived in the Castle
Imagined vs. Reality -- Charlotte Perkins Gilman, The Yellow Wallpaper

For more Borges,
Vengence there is Death and Compass and Two kings and the Labirinty. The Alleph may be in the reality vs. imagined. If it is long enough, Bioy Casares Invention of Morel deals with that as well.
What about Poe's "The Amontillado" for revenge?
