i heard here about some story of his
where some man invites his brother or friend over
and ends up burrying him?
any other stories you recommend?
i need it for prose competition so dialogue is a plus
but not required

"The Two Thanksgiving Day Gentlemen"

"The Ransom of Red Chief" - the kidnappers weren't ready for this brat!

I loved "The Last Leaf" when I was a child. I don't live far from the house that inspired this story

I also recommend "The Cop and the Anthem" - have you ever heard the expression "he couldn't get arrested"? Maybe this is where it began.

Cassie it sounded really lonely so I ..... Lamp Light Deserted is the avenue (and I dwell in a desert far from you) where empty benches sit and stare (I think of you just standing there) at linden trees in early June. (wind whistles in a lonely tune) The moon is hidden and the stars (like fireflies smothering in jars) are absent from a sky of pitch (beneath some spell cast by a witch) and yet I'd like to wander there (a wander that I'd like to share) amid that fragrant floral scent (and the piercing pangs of sentiment) which sweetly hangs in midnight air (If I could, I would be there)

I'll join the crowd: my favorite is The Gift of the Magi. It is a truly beautiful little tale.
You can read a bunch of his short stories here http://www.online-literature.com/o_henry/ and http://www.shortstoryarchive.com/h/o_henry.html

I think the BEST is "The Ransom Of the Red Cheif". It's about these kidnappers who pay money to give him back. Very funny!
