What is a good short story to read?

For English, we have the ignment of reading a short story to the cl, but we have to use emotion. The teacher let us look through the Chicken Soup books, but I want a story that's darker, more morbid. The Chicken Soup books are very boring, predictable, cheesey, and unrealistic! I would like a story that is morbid, but appropriate for cl. Thanks in advance!
