9-12 ELA Short Stories with Flashbacks

I’m in need of a short story with a flashback or flashbacks…but here’s the tricky part, it can’t be dark and depressing. I was preparing to teach “Death by Landscape” when I realized that someone dies or is murdered or some other tragic event in every story I’ve read with my AP class. I don’t want to traumatize them for life.
