Elaine Daniels has given up. Her view on the world has been shrouded in hurt and anger. As far as she's concerned, there's nothing left in this life for her. With a shattered home life and a shattered sense of self, she finds herself stuck in the cycle of self destruction. If life is already encompassing her in darkness, what's stopping her from catapulting herself into chaos? 

Absolutely nothing. 
Or so she thought.

As someone already careless about her life and wellbeing, she'll have to choose between that mindset and the will to survive. Life could be much worse than it is now for Ms. Elaine Daniels, as she's about to find out. 

    This may be triggering to some readers:
Contains self harm, verbal abuse, under-age drinking, and quite a bit of cursing.
