The Lonely God: A Short Story

In the quiet halls of the British Museum, a forgotten stone idol sits unnoticed on a high shelf-its features eroded by time, its purpose long-lost. But for Frank Oliver, a lonely man recently returned to England, the little god becomes something more: a symbol of connection in a world that has passed him by.

When Frank notices a young woman visiting the same statue, day after day, something begins to shift. In their quiet devotion to a nameless figure, two strangers begin to find the possibility of something else-companionship, perhaps even love.

Agatha Christie's The Lonely God is a tender and thoughtful departure from her usual crime stories. In this short tale, she explores isolation, identity, and unexpected human connection with quiet grace.

Perfect for fans of classic literature, character-driven stories, and emotional fiction with a hint of mystery.
