Time seems to move to a slower beat. Everything becomes more circumspect when you have no one to share the big things of life or even the everyday little things. The worry of being alone, to be apart from others.
Time seems to move to a slower beat. Everything becomes more circumspect when you have no one to share the big things of life or even the everyday little things. The worry of being alone, to be apart from others. The solitary feeling for a short time might help to get things into perspective or cool a raging mind. But if it’s long term then the mind begins to play tricks. Conversations are between ourselves, no outside voice to support, to balance, to question or confirm. From there the path can be very unsettling. 01 - Short Stories About Isolation and Loneliness - An Introduction 02 - Misery by Anton Chekhov 03 - In a Far Country by Jack London 04 - Regret by Guy de Maupassant 05 - A Dill Pickle by Katherine Mansfield 06 - Diary of a Madman by Nikolai Gogol 07 - Hands by Sherwood Anderson 08 - Her Lover by Maxim Gorky 09 - The Mourner by Mary Shelley 10 - The Yellow Wall Paper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman 11 - Mumu by Ivan Turgenev 12 - The Outsider by H P Lovecraft 13 - Mr and Mrs Dove by Katherine Mansfield 14 - Witch's Loaves by O Henry 15 - Morphine by Mikhail Bulgakov 16 - A Lonely Ride by Bret Harte 17 - Miss Ogilivy Finds Herself by Radclyffe Hall 18 - The Outcasts of Poker Flat by Bret Harte 19 - The Bet by Anton Chekhov 20 - Paul's Case by Willa Cather 21 - The Looking Glass by Anton Chekhov 22 - The Canary by Katherine Mansfield 23 - A New England Nun by Mary E Wilkins Freeman 24 - An Idyl of London by Beatrice Harraden 25 - Adventure by Sherwood Anderson 26 - Shut Out by F Anstey 27 - The Diary of a God by Barry Pain 28 - Oil of Dog by Ambrose Bierce 29 - Sokratics in the Strand by Amy Levy 30 - When I Was Dead by Vincent O'Sullivan 31 - The Face by E F Benson 32 - The City by Leonid Andreyev 33 - The Cloak by Nikolai Gogol also known as 'The Overcoat' 34 - Miss Brill by Katherine Mansfield 35 - Vanka by Anton Chekhov 36 - The Boarded Window by Ambrose Bierce 37 - Two Little Soldiers by Guy de Maupassant
