Zen
by
Jerome Bixby
. It's a free short story available at Amazon.

Spoiler
:
Looking for a treatise on finding nirvana? You're in the wrong place. Jerome Bixby's "Zen" is a thought-provoking tale about a lone outer-space creature that believes it is the last one of its kind and, as a result, no longer wishes to survive. Will the scientist who discovered the creature comply with its wish to extinguish itself -- or does he have some shocking news to deliver?.
It's also available (thought not free) at Kobo.
