"A Single Samurai" by Steve Diamond is a current nominee for the Hugo Award for Best Short Story. It's not one I'd read before, but when I downloaded my Hugo packet, I made a beeline for it.
Among the many uh issues with it is this one: it is a first-person narrative, told in the past tense, in which the narrator dies at the end.
