Mia swallowed hard.
"A-after we met that day, I went to the pharmacy to get my... My medication of the week."
"The... The pharmacist told me that they just had a new stuff coming in... It was very good, she said... And she asked if I was interested, so I said yes."
Mia hugged herself to dispel the cold dread settling in her bones.
"I... I kept coming back every week, four times in total. The injection she administered was unlike anything I'd experienced. It was miraculous. I felt a shift within myself as soon as the first dose coursed through my veins."

Why the stark difference?
