After recently reading "Aftershock and Others" and rereading "Lipidleggin'" I started to wonder what everyones favorite short story by our favorite writer is.
A couple of mine are "Foet" and "Lipidleggin" because of the social commentary angle that they have. Really fitting for a lot of things today.
I also have become a big fan of "Itsy bitsy spider". I have an aversion to spiders and this story gave me a nightmare the night I read it. Alright, I was up way too late and had other stuff stressing me out at the time but I had a nightmare that one of the big old nastys was looking at me through my bedroom window.
I also really like "Demonsong" but maybe not for reasons that would seem obvious. I like it because it, to me shows a writing style so unlike the F. Paul Wilson that we read now. I like to think that we are seeing the evolution of FPW but I am sure it was more intentional on FPWs part than that.
Others?

Too literal? I'm sorry you feel I have a Literal Agenda!
"A Day in the Life" is my favorite fpw work yet.
Recently I read "Recalled". Now it's my favorite one!

It used to be Tenants. Then it was Pelts...then A Day in the Life. Now it's Sex Slaves of the Dragon Tong.
Nah, doesn't just have to be one. I picked 4 and am not sure I could narrow it down any further.

I have not read that one yet Kenji. I am going shopping for the Matheson tribute though and soon will have it read.
