My favorite short story would be "Tell Tale Heart" by Edgar Allen Poe. It is about a young man who lives with an old man, that has a "vulture eye." The eye scared the young man, and drove him crazy, eventually leading him to kill the old man. The police came the next day, because neighbors heard a scream that came from the house. The police didn't find the old man, so the young man was very confident. All of a sudden, he thinks he hears the old man's heart beat, making him go crazy. He eventually feels so guilty that he confesses to the police that he killed the old man.
I really liked this story. It was suspenseful, which made the story very interesting. "Tell Tale Heart" was one of those stories that would keep you at the edge of your seat, without falling off though. I'm sure anyone would think that "Tell Tale Heart" was a really nice short story. It might be the best one I've read so far!
