Diary Of A Lonely Person

In these twelve stories, characters stand frozen in their own lives, as if waiting for a tap to save them. A woman contemplates a difficult decision as she dreads the thought of another day of sameness. A young teacher rediscovers her path through an unexpected friendship. A world-weary dishwasher pens diary entries to his only companion—a cat. An insect with a philosophical bent of mind is desperate to prove its humanity before time runs out. And a middle-aged man fashions four-leaf clovers in the hope of seeing someone delight in discovering them. Some will find redemption; others, despair. But each tale reminds us that, much like the game of Lock and Key, we are all waiting for a tap, a vital connection, a chance to break free.
