Andy Weir's The Egg is another excellent short story:

If you're looking for more short stories, I highly recommend the following:

• Ted Chiang's Exhalation

• Ted Chiang's Story of Your Life and Others

• Ken Liu's Paper Menagerie

• Borges's Ficciones

• Smullyan's What is the Name of This Book?

• Smullyan's Lady or the Tiger?

• Douglas Adams's God's Debris

Remember to support local booksellers when possible :)
