Loneliness. It's all part of the human condition, and each individual who suffers from it will handle loneliness in a different way. It can come from labelling, from marginalization, from childhood trauma. Sometimes loneliness stems from a world weariness, occasionally it's a conscious choice. And sometimes loneliness can lead to madness of a sort. These three tales concern people who are fundamentally alone, and explore the ways that they deal with that loneliness. How they maneuver in a world that can be a cold and unyielding and unforgiving place. Each with a happy ending, no spoilers. ----a mycologist who finds that mushrooms may actually be more than they seem. And more than she bargained for. ----a young urbanite who falls head over heels in love. With an ancient statue. ----and a man who finds happiness in a brand new therapy used to treat his lifelong schizophrenia. Feeling lonely yourself? Don't. You're not alone.
