All the Lonely People

by Mike Gayle

Hubert Bird, a Jamaican immigrant in Britain, has spent years crafting a fictional idyllic retirement to share with his distant daughter. Every week, he recounts tales of the perfect life, brimming with companionship and joy—a stark contrast to his solitary existence. However, Hubert's carefully constructed facade is threatened when his daughter announces a visit. With time ticking, he embarks on a mission to transform his lonely reality into the vibrant world of his imagination. Amidst this race against the clock, Hubert stumbles upon another shot at love, rekindles an old friendship, and joins a bold community endeavor to combat loneliness. Despite his efforts, the somber reasons behind his self-imposed separation loom over him. Will Hubert succeed in maintaining his deception, or will he finally confront the shadows of his past and embrace the authenticity of living?
