Stories of loneliness and betrayal, of false hope and shattered dreams, of gifts and regrets, of love and accidental kindness. Each story follows separate paths that lead to the understanding that sometimes the only solution is a lead pill.

His love of numbers led him to ask for something that turned out to be something else entirely in Adding it up.
