Summary: "Lonesome Hearts" by R. R. Winterbotham is a science fiction novella written during the mid-20th century, specifically in the 1950s. The story explores themes of love, existence, and the transition between life forms on a different planet, telling the tale of an alien being's journey in search of his beloved. Through a blend of whimsical imagination and reflective philosophy, it delves into the complex nature of relationships and identity in a cosmic context. The narrative follows Yljm, an alien character whose life intertwines with Mjly, a celestial being. As their world faces ecological collapse, Mjly sets out to another planet, Earth, which holds promise and sustenance. Following a long absence, Yljm resolves to find her, only to discover that Mjly has transformed into microbial life, signifying the beginnings of animal life on Earth. The story concludes with Yljm resigning to a lonesome existence while reflecting on the nature of love and life, marking a poignant commentary on the cyclical nature of existence and the loneliness inherent in individuality.
