The narrative given in "Loser" by Aimmee Bender‚ was a very moving piece of literature. Aimmee takes a very sensitive approach towards the young man’s solitude‚ who’s name is ultimately never told. As an orphan‚ the young man lives with the familiar disparity surrounded by abandonment and disconnection.

Paul’s death is the result of his mother’s selfishness which
