I'm that kinda guy who loves very much to read short stories . I visualize the characters coming in and love to make films out of the plot. The irony is that I haven't done any movie yet. The backup story sounds so boring that I don't want to share it here.
To reveal the truth, I drove into EC through my passion to read short stories. I was just browsing on internet when I ran into a short story "The Chapel" by Josef Essberger. It haunts me so much to write and direct a movie by myself.
So, after too much of information now, I ask you people to help me finding out good short stories that are set-up in the contemporary backdrop. For instance you might have read Dial 000 by Barry Rosenberg. His work on Dial 000 using "Confrontational Psychotherapy" as a tool is fantastic.
To get back into the article, please help me finding out short stories on internet. Of-course EC is a fabulous source of the need but just lemme know if there are any other good sites around to look into.
Thank you for your patience! (No bullying or teasing in the comments please!)

Short stories are easy to understand and people can read them too especially those who have less time. The brillassignment.co.uk review is a place where I found out these stories and read they have some good lessons as well.
@Anele
.................... novels were considered as short stories.
In this case it is called a NOVELETTE.
Anele, thank you first of all for your best wishes and no, I don't have any idea what it (Ratatouille) is :)
You seem to be working on making a movie. I saw "3 Idiots" and somehow liked its story.
I am definitely have no time for reading short stories nowadays because of my job. But, I used to be a voracious reader before. The only difference is ... I didn't read short stories but novels. I guess novels cover a lot of plots which you are not looking for. Yet, somebody told me that novels were considered as short stories. Most movies are taken from the novels.
May you prosper on your career as a moviemaker, Regadapalli. When I saw your name I couldn't help but remember the movie "Ratatouille". Both words have one thing in common. Do you know what it is?
Thank you Expector Smith!
I recommend Josef's short stories, too.
Thank you Ramnord!
Thank you noaspls! I find it useful. I'll go through and follow it for sure.
Thank you Pixary but as I already said I'm in search of contemporary subjects. The link you shared has much of classics I guess. And yes, you didn't bully or tease me :D
You may find some interesting short stories suggested by members in my group, Readers' Corner "short stories page suggestion".
