In the Age of Anhedonia: Short Stories

By Gabriella Kershner

This is the age of Anhedonia. People are experiencing a shut down in their point of pleasure. In the world of psychology and neuroscience, research has shown that there is a point, for some, in which the brain and pleasure center ceases to function properly, or function at all. During this experience, those that suffer from this mental ailment can succumb to a numb response in their emotions and feelings. In time, the affects of Anhedonia can be likened to almost a zombie-esque demeanor, stoic with no expression, no emotion, no feeling, lifeless and pointless with no hope. Do today's man-made plagues in combination with situations, trials, and tribulations continue to be the main culprit and foundation for the Anhedonia phenomenon or is it something more spiritual, deeper than what our eyes are can see? The characters in these highly emotionally-charged short stories will try and find their way out of their depth of depth and sorrow through hope found in the darkest hour.
