This is based on/inspired by a true story.
On a very beautiful and warm day, Tara found herself hitting rock bottom. Five monsters shattered her life, stole her dreams, and tainted her inside out.
Alone in her despair, she was consumed by disappointment and betrayal, and then left a sprawled mess of living organs and a broken spirit.
Yet, she refused to stay on the ground.
Tara picked herself up and faced life head-on, no matter how much her very being struggled to keep going.
This is the story of Tara who fell, dusted off her knees, stood up, and refused to fall once again.
Instead, she was bringing everyone else down. Tara will become as monstrous as she must and her blazing fury will feel worse than hell itself.
A victim? No, they'd created a monster.

How To Self Destruct?
I pace around the waiting room of the hospital as Jakira was sitting down shaking her leg nervously. The hospital was busy as nurses were running around like chickens with their heads cut off. People in stretchers were coming in and out as well, as Melanie and Alexis finally arrived. "WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO TO MY SISTER DYLAND!" Melanie screams at me as she sprints toward me attacking me. "You fucking murderer!" She snaps as she grabs my hair pulling on it as Alexis tries to grab her off of me. "He didn't kill her!" Jakira tries to tell Melanie but she wasn't listening as her eyes were swollen from crying. I grab her arms pulling them to her sides and hugging her. "I'm sorry Melanie." I tell her as she calms down for a second before pushing me off of her. What happens when a man neglects his responsibilities? Or when he finds it hard to control his impulses?
