Happy Pills

|| Story Explanation ||

In a world where happiness is mandatory and all other emotions are suppressed, Atlas finds himself at a crossroads at 17 years old. Raised on the happiness pills like everyone else, he stumbles upon a post online that reveals the truth behind the medication - it's a form of brainwashing designed to control the population to get them not to question things anymore.

As Atlas begins to question the reality he has always known for the first time, he decides to stop taking the pills and starts to experience a range of emotions he never knew existed. But as he tries to convince others to do the same, he faces resistance from a society that has been conditioned to believe that happiness is the ultimate goal and all other emotions are bad.

As Atlas delves deeper into the truth behind the medication, he uncovers a sinister conspiracy that goes beyond just controlling emotions. With his mother still under the influence of the pills, Atlas must confront his own inner turmoil and make difficult choices that will determine the fate of his world. He discovers that there is a dark secret behind its creation. The government, in an attempt to control the population and maintain order, developed the pills to suppress negative emotions and dissent. Those who refuse to take the medicine are labeled as "unstable" and are sent to re-education camps where they're forced to take the pills.

Is happiness truly worth sacrificing all other emotions?
