Larisse Colham. Young, personal assistant to the Director of Medication of the United States in Washington DC. Larisse has never taken more than a single pill in her whole life, and that was just a mere pain medication. A prospering and promising young bio-medicine student and perhaps even a future politician, Larisse is chosen to oversee a pun experimental study on those addicted to medication.
One of those chose is Walter O'Connell. Walter, only a few years older than Larisse herself, has taken at least ten various pills a day since he could remember. Now an addict to the pills, he shows Larisse new information on the pills, and how they may or may not be a good thing. But when the government chooses to cover it up rather than fix the issue or stunt down production, they're faced with a new and startling foe: Ecstasy.

Sent away to Blackwood Academy, a school designed to "fix" troubled minds, she's forced to take pills, follow strict rules, and remain under constant supervision. But she doesn't need fixing-at least, not in the way they think. The people here aren't trying to help her. They're trying to control her. The moment she swallows her first pill and follows the eerie blue line to her dorm, reality distorts. Hallways shift. Shadows whisper. Her mind is slipping, but she refuses to give in. The next morning, when a new nurse tries to force another dose down her throat, she does the only thing that feels right-she makes him swallow the pills instead. And when he stops breathing, she realizes something terrifying... Killing feels right. Now, one body isn't enough. As the academy tightens its grip, so does her hunger for revenge. If they wanted her to be a monster, they just gave her the perfect excuse to become one. But is she truly insane? Or is there something much darker lurking beneath the surface of Blackwood Academy?

Because i want to be a star, i really do. i think. ** This story contains child abuse, sexual assault, drug use, murder and thoughts of suicide. A dark story intended for mature audiences. The story is meant to be read as is, small case was done as a stylistic mode. I notice especially the letter i as in myself reverted to a capital so i will be fixing that. I will be doing another check to find any typos which after a million edits, still appear. Although people have noticed similarities in some of the characters to real people I like to be clear that I first published this story in May of 2016, a couple years before the Weinstein scandal and the #metoo movement.Complete
