I agree on The Metamorphosis. Absoluteley fantastic short story. I like a lot of Kafkas short stories. For example: Der Hungerkunstler, In der Straffkolonie and Das Urteil. Franz Kafka is actually my favorite author 
I also really enjoyed some of the stories in "Dubliners" by James Joyce.
And The Overcoat by Nikolai Gogol is a fantastic shot story as well.
"Someone must have slandered Josef K., for one morning, without having done anything truly wrong, he was arrested."
"Jemand musste Josef K. verleumdet haben, denn ohne dass er etwas Böses getan hätte, wurde er eines Morgens verhaftet"

Also the most obvious answer Jesus' Son by Denis Johnson.
Anything from The Things they Carried by O'Brien.
