Can you recommend some adult super short stories?

One great adult super power story is 'Watchmen'. It's a complex and gritty story that deconstructs the idea of superheroes. The characters have various superpowers and moral dilemmas. Another is 'The Boys' which shows a darker side of superpowered individuals, dealing with power abuse and corporate control. And 'Invincible' also has a great take on adult - themed super power situations, with its main character coming to terms with his powers and the responsibilities that come with them.

One short story I like is 'A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings' by Gabriel García Márquez. It has elements of the magical and the ordinary. An old man with wings appears in a village, and the villagers' reactions range from curiosity to cruelty. Also, 'The Lady, or the Tiger?' by Frank R. Stockton is quite interesting. It ends with a cliffhanger, making the reader wonder whether the lady or the tiger will come out of the door.

Another is 'A Rose for Emily' by William Faulkner. It's a complex tale set in the South. The story of Miss Emily Grierson unfolds gradually, revealing her isolation, a past relationship, and the secrets she has been keeping within her old, decaying house.

Another short story is 'The Boy Who Cried Wolf'. A boy kept lying that there was a wolf attacking the sheep. When the wolf actually came, no one believed him anymore. This story tells kids about the importance of honesty.

One super sad short story could be about a lonely old man in an empty house. He has outlived all his friends and family. Every day he just sits by the window, waiting for someone who will never come. It shows the harsh reality of loneliness and the passage of time.

Sure. One scary super short story could be 'The Hitchhiker'. A man picks up a hitchhiker on a lonely road at night. The hitchhiker is silent and as they pass a graveyard, the man looks over and the hitchhiker has vanished. Another is 'The Red Room'. A young man enters a supposedly haunted red - room to prove there are no ghosts, but soon he is filled with a sense of dread and something unseen seems to be attacking him. And 'The Monkey's Paw' where a family is granted three wishes by a magical monkey's paw, but each wish comes with a terrible and unforeseen consequence.

One super sexy short story could be about a passionate encounter between two strangers on a moonlit beach. The way they exchange glances, the electricity in the air as they gradually draw closer, and finally the moment of intense connection.

One super short bedtime story could be this. There was a small bird that got tired from flying all day. It landed on a branch near a warm little nest made by an old squirrel. The squirrel let the bird stay for the night, and the bird had a sweet dream.

One super sexy short story could be about a passionate encounter between two strangers on a moonlit beach. They meet by chance, and there's an instant attraction that leads to a flurry of emotions and a brief but intense connection.

Sure. Here is one. A little rabbit was afraid of the dark. But his mother told him the stars were night - time friends. So the rabbit slept well every night.
