To each particular creation, no matter how unquestionably inconsequential, there is a name; It can be said easily that no soul on this earth, alive or dead, existed without aversion, fear, revulsion even, towards the unknown.

It can be said, but you would be wrong.
Ignorance is as much of a tool as it is a disease, and a lot of people go through a lot of trouble to make sure they stay in the dark, nameless. Someone can't react to something they don't realise exists, the world is vast, complex and disorganised; The nameless are plenty, you may even know a few, ironically.
The terrifying truth is that no one is scared by what they think they know.

Follow Thomas Laurent through hell, after clashing head on with true power. Read vivid, hazy and feverish flashes of his crumbling life, his dwindling breathing space.
He will lose, if left on his own.
Mad men's voices do not reach the heavens.
