"Gentlemen, your verdict" by Michael Bruce - trolley problem on a submarine (attention: weird vertical formatting)
"Just Lather, That's All" by Hernando Téllez" - a barber during a civil war

The second one actually gave me half of a mental breakdown, but not because it was too violent for me.
One analysis that I read made the exact opposite conclusion that I made, and it showed me this: in the subject of English, two diametrically opposed points can both be equally correct! Nothing is fixed! Reality is mutable!

Also The Lottery, The Veldt, Harrison Bergeron (which others have already mentioned)
