The Visionary

A blind painter is dismissed by the art world as being inherently incapable of participating, when he strives to convey the sense of sightlessness to the sighted. The people that do support him primarily do so for fraudulent reasons; they just want to seem accepting without actually internalizing his goals. Worse, insecurities caused by his phony supporters causes him to doubt himself, and since he can’t see, he struggles to confirm his self-worth.

Alone Together

Singleton is a man with a bizarre crisis. He’s deeply sexually attracted to being alone. Which is not to say that he’s impotent, but rather, he’s more aroused by solitude than he is by personal contact. Of course, women he attempts to become involved with judge his bizarre method of wanting extreme isolation immediately prior to, or intermittently throughout sex. He invents an imaginary friend to satisfy both of his needs simultaneously, but things get awkward when he realizes that she isn’t imaginary. She’s been pretending.

On the Outs

An elderly former celebrity seeks to disappear quietly and leave a great deal of mystery surrounding his absence. As he attempts to carefully sever all of his ties, he realizes that there are more things that he cares about than he thought. Also, there are plenty of people with a vested interest in his continued existence or at least a degree of curiosity regarding his increasingly peculiar behavior as he sets up his disappearance. He realizes that he doesn’t necessarily want to disappear, but by that point, his elaborate plan is so far under way that to end it would do more damage to the people that he has now realized he loves than him sticking around would.
