Probably my favorite short story. This is another one of my favorites, definitely more obscure:

A Conversation with God - Ragged Trousered Philosopher

Thanks for that. I've read it before, long ago, but completely forgot about it. Still a great story.

I feel like reading this story is an internet nerd Rite of Passage. It had a huge impact on me when I read it as a teenager and I think about it a lot.
