It seems like The Man in the Corner had more of an impact via the mystery of his solitudethan he realized. I like the pacing, and the things being said without needing to be said.
This piece reminds me of a series I enjoyed called The Booth at the End, about a mysterious man who visits a diner, and the effect he has on the lives of its patrons. You shoulod check it out.
There's even some more information on what happened to this series where like everything good, seems to end too soon.
Thanks for reading and dropping a comment. I'll make sure to check out the series you mentioned.
