Low Men in Yellow Coats.
Yes. Men like sports. Men watch the action movie, they eat of the beef, and enjoy to look at the bosoms. A thousand years of avenging our wrongs and that's all you've learned?

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
Shambleau. The Yellow Wallpaper. Who Am I This Time?
And one by James Tiptree, Jr., that I can't remember the name of offhand, but it was about a woman stuck on a mid-range transport spaceship who ends up going mad and killing her male crewmates and taking the ship to a distant planet that she has been dreaming about all her life and finding her soul mate there. But, due to the fact that the planet's atmosphere was poisonous to her, her mate and she were only able to commune through the window until she finally opened the door and they were able to touch for the first time right before she died. Very touching.

We the Living?
No that's a novel. Anthem?

The Anthem Sprinters. The Wonderful Ice Cream Suit. (Yeah, I think "all of Bradbury" will cover it.)

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Oh, The Open Window! Good to be reminded of that one.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Yes. Being a Rand fan in middle school is my secret shame.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream is a specific Harlan Ellison that sticks in my mind, but much of his stuff is brilliant.
And I've had the shit scared out of me by Stephen King's shorter works, but his short stories are the length of a normal person's shorter novel.
