| 520 | _a"Mr. Loneliness" by Henry Slesar is a science fiction short story published in the mid-20th century. Set in a remote asteroid outpost, the narrative explores themes of isolation and the human need for connection in the vastness of space. The story centers around a lone character, Pace, whose experiences reflect both the physical and emotional challenges of being so far removed from humanity. In the story, Pace is a man stationed on a desolate outpost, grappling with intense feelings of loneliness and despair. Despite the company of three visitors who attempt to lighten the mood with humor and camaraderie, his solitude weighs heavily on him, exacerbated by thoughts of a girl named Laura who is unable to visit due to illness. As tensions rise between Pace and the visitors, particularly with Towne, it leads to an angry confrontation. However, the confrontation reveals the extent of Pace's loneliness as he struggles against the cosmic emptiness surrounding him. The story culminates in a poignant moment where he finds himself utterly alone once more, emphasizing the profound impact of isolation in a setting designed for exploration and connection.
