This took some thought, but here's what I settled on:
-"The Fall of the House of Usher" by Edgar Allan Poe
-"The Story of an Hour" by Kate Chopin
-"Gift of the Magi" by O. Henry
"Exit, Pursued by a bear"
-William Shakespeare, A Winter's Tale
An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge (Ambroise Bierce)
J. Habakuk Jephson's Statement (Arthur Conan Doyle)
Poseidon (Kafka)
The Scarlet Ibis (James Hurst)
