What are must read short stories?

I also recommend "Goliath" by Neil Gaiman

While I've never read Soldier of Tomorrow, the plot synopsis that I was able to look up doesn't sound like it has anything to do with Terminator at all. Maybe the summary is leaving a lot out, but the only thing it seems to have in common with The Terminator based on the synopsis is that a character travels through time

Per Ellison, "He said that he ripped off a couple of my episodes of "Outer Limits."" Specifically, it would have been the "Outer Limits" episode called "Soldier."
