"If love drove people mad, what would lack of love do?"
Story about desperate lonely people and what they would do to not be so lonely. Trauma is central to this story but handled well

It seemed like every decision and every event was based on their need to have sex. If you took out all of the paragraphs about that motive, you would have a very short story. I did think the ending was pretty good and unexpected.
