Is there any website of more science fiction extra-short stories that are this short? I know sci-fi might not be the preferred term for stories that are this philosophical or borderline religious, but I don't know a better term.


"The Machine Stops" is one that is always in my memory - not quite as short as this, but very short nonetheless. And impressive given that it was written in 1909:

You might enjoy some of qntm's work[0].

Maybe start with this short ("I Don't Know, Timmy, Being God Is a Big Responsibility")[1] since it is similar to The Egg in my opinion.

I don't know of a website. But I bet there are published collections out there though I don't have one.
