Short stories are a great way to ease back into reading and rebuild your stamina and focus. Here are some extra short ones that got me reading again.

Awesome!

I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream is another good one, but I think it falls over the 20min mark.

Amazing idea, than you for sharing. I wonder if there's something similar for poetry.

Edit: they treat poetry as a genre of short story.
