What is the Most Disturbing Short Story Fiction?

I don't know if this counts, but some of the stories by Edgar Allen Poe gave me nightmares when I was little. 'The Pit and the Pendulum' is pretty creepy as well as 'The Cask Of Amontillado.' The latter one especially if you're claustrophobic :eek:
 
What contitutes a short story?

The "story" I'm reading now has a paragraph that made tears come to my eyes (never happened before in fiction).
I would say it's disturbing, repulsive, heartbreaking, bloodcurdling, intense, and whatever else macabre that can describe this story.
I really have to see how it ends.
 
I can't remember the exact title of the short story, but it was something I read in a collection of writings by the Marquis de Sade. It was about a girl who goes to the city looking for her uncle and other relatives, but the innocent gets tricked by a rake who ends up intoxicating her before using the girl in a gang rape. This is after a charade of showing her false relatives. In the end the girl has been robbed, raped, and left for destitute when she wakes and makes her way home. It seemed out of place with the rest of the stories, because the others were of a more comical sense.
