    About this ebook

    How does one cope with complete and utter loneliness, living in a world occupied by one? Lawrence Steven Devane does not react well when plunged into precisely this situation.

    EXCERPT: "I yearn to meet a one-legged, one-armed, one-eyed, elderly gypsy woman who spends every waking minute singing show tunes with a voice like a howler monkey undergoing torture...."

    "I couldn't help but think of 'Where Is Everybody?', the first episode ever of the iconic American television anthology series The Twilight Zone. This is a well written, thought provoking, haunting, disturbing tale... it draws real emotion. What more can you ask?" ~ Michael Reviews

    EVOLVED PUBLISHING PRESENTS a suspenseful, thrilling glance inside the mind of a man utterly alone in a world gone mad. At a bit over 3,600 words, this quick story is the perfect distraction from your daily grind. [DRM-Free]

    Included with this short story is a special 4-chapter sneak preview of "Forgive Me, Alex," the critically-acclaimed, award-winning psychological thriller novel by Lane Diamond.
