Today I'd like to point you in the direction of Neil Gaiman's 'Babycakes'. I've not been able to find a version you can read, but you can listen to the master reading it here or, if you'd rather, you can see it as a comic strip here.
Babycakes does one of the things I think all great stories need to do: it is EXACTLY the right length. And its shape is about perfect too.
And I love the sentiment. Enjoy. And let me know what you think.

And I should add - Dan Powell is doing exactly the same thing over on his blog. Check him out. He knows his onions. AND his stories.

I wasn't familiar with 'Babycakes' as I have only read Gaiman's comics work. Great story. Can see why you like this one.
It's been a fave for a good old while, that has. His short stories are good, definitely worth a go - but I think this one's exceptional.
Now, which to pick for tomorrow...!
