One of the quirky short stories is 'The Gift of the Magi' by O. Henry. The couple in the story sells their most precious possessions to buy gifts for each other, but in a very ironic twist, the gifts they buy are made useless by what they've sold. And then there's 'An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge' which plays with the concept of time and perception in a really unusual way as the main character experiences a series of events during his supposed execution.

Sure. 'The Lottery' by Shirley Jackson is a very quirky short story. It seems like an ordinary small - town event at first, but then takes a very dark and unexpected turn. Another one is 'The Metamorphosis' by Franz Kafka, where the main character wakes up transformed into a giant insect, which is extremely strange and thought - provoking.

But Tang Yu, it’s you who has issues!” The man put down the newspaper and agreed to what his young wife was saying, “Why would they write false information? Your zodiac is the pig!” “Tang! Yu!” She stomped her feet out of anger. The man grinned, “So what we have no kids? You are my little baby.” Pei Qiqi thought, how did this scene change so fast!
