An aging white male forsakes humanity, changes his name to Sorrow, and begins identifying as an it, just as its white son learns his Black girlfriend is pregnant, and you begin a murderous rampage targeting interracial couples just like them... Before expounding on a more thorough description of the essence of Sorrow, with things as they are perhaps readers should be made aware of the elements of the tale that may potentially cause concern to some. Let us not label this awareness effort as Trigger Warnings, as that term itself is quite triggering to many; instead, let us simply identify it as Noted Concerns. NOTED CONCERNS OF SORROW - Behavioral health concerns - Suicidal concerns - Abortion concerns - Homelessness concerns - Homicidal concerns - Gun violence concerns - Police brutality concerns - Racism concerns - Identity concerns - Pronoun concerns - Sexual content concerns - Brief nudity concerns - Vulgar language concerns - Religious cult concerns - Alcoholism concerns - Tobacco/marijuana usage concerns - Pandemic masking concerns - Fully developed Black, Hispanic, and white female characters created by an old white male concerns THE ESSENSE OF SORROW Harold Thorson Sterner, Sr., who had come to be known as Hank, an aging white male no longer able to bear the downward spiraling, troubled state of the world, has decided to end his relationship with it, the world, and all that it entails: all humanity and its entire "civilized" existence, his name, his family, his profession, all his responsibilities, everything, even, perhaps, his conscious mind. To ensure his new relationship with the world is clear and properly regarded by others, he legally changes his name from Harold Thorson Sterner, Sr., to Sorrow and begins identifying, not as a man, or even as a human for that matter, but simply as a being, an it. He, or rather, it, has made this, what turns out to be rather ironic, decision to forsake humanity just as its white aspiring author son learns his Black aspiring business executive girlfriend is pregnant, and you, an aspiring serial killer, begin a murderous rampage targeting interracial couples just like them out in sunny Los Angeles. Sorrow, up until now a semi-celebrated author who had moved recently to sunny Los Angeles to adapt its former self's successful novels into screenplays, attempts to explain its decision to forsake the world it in a letter to its estranged wife Evelyn, who now lives separated and carefree from her disillusioned husband in Miami, enjoying life with her young Cuban boytoy Alejo. The letter, more a missive really, prompts Sorrow's son, who is already in the midst of his own crisis due to his girlfriend's unexpected pregnancy, to trek out to LA in hope of finding his odd father and providing him the care that he needs. His girlfriend, distraught at her boyfriend's untimely departure, soon follows him out there. Together in LA, the troubled couple has unwittingly placed themselves at risk of your violent wrath. And so, as the story unfolds and Sorrow slowly morphs into what? a Christ-like figure? a mad bodhisattva? just another behavioral health breakdown victim littering the streets of LA? and as whatever it morphs into somehow draws to it other disillusioned souls who begin worshipping it, and as three of its original acolytes, a self-identified indigent and two hippies, are able to magically fly - one by spinning his long, matted hair like helicopter rotor blades and the others by vigorously flapping large palm fronds typically reserved for their worship of Sorrow - and use these skills to fight evil forces on behalf of Sorrow, and as all but one of the story's narrators mysteriously, suspiciously, disappear, and even as the body count from your murderous rampage steadily grows around it... Sorrow does not respond.
