Maddy

Maddy wakes up one day and takes a bottle of sleeping pills.  She goes to sleep and wakes up one day and takes a bottle of sleeping pills.  Some of us are slaves to our rituals, and sometimes those rituals are stronger than our desire to break them.

"Maddy" is a tale of despair, a tale of desperation, and a tale of a ritual so ingrained it supersedes even death.
