Loneliness

Mr. Ashburn, the undertaker, comes to a small town to buy a theater and turn it into a funeral home. Every Friday he goes to the local bar to celebrate the end of the week. A lonely man, he meets there lonely habitués who sit silently at their tables, immersed in their dreams. Late at night when the darkness seizes the town they leave the bar, the undertaker is left alone, and he begins to have nightmares about the town and its people.
