Exordium

A young and bitterly lonely man is crushed by the impossible expectations placed upon him by an abusive parent and an uncaring culture. The death of the man's father and the breaking of his world stand as the last stages of an impossible war, and through his violent struggles, he will come to know both pain and loss that will shape him into something dark and far removed from the peaceful ideal that he once sought to become. As the man grows, he will struggle deeply with forces that are both personal and supernatural, and they will leave him forever scarred as he is forced to watch the dwindling of what little life remains. As the man struggles, he and his few friends will be forced to ask if they can truly make a difference in an indifferent world moving towards its end. **
