Jaysus, too many to list, but here are a few that have always given me enjoyment, for various reasons. In no particular order:
'Jeffty Is Five', by Harlan Ellison
'A Scandal In Bohemia', by Arthur Conan Doyle
'The Man Who Corrupted Hadleyburg', by Mark Twain
'The Green Hills Of Earth', by Robert Heinlein
'Hop-Frog', by Edgar Allan Poe
Boru
Bester also wrote the shortest science-fiction story, one letter shorter:
'The last man on Earth sat alone in a room. There was a lock on the door.'
