The problem I usually have with heroin addiction in stories, tv shows, and movies is that they are so inaccurately portrayed that I am completely unable to immerse myself into the story. (For example, American horror story recently attempted to use heroin in season 5 and it was laughably fake.) This story did not disappoint in that aspect! I was glad that she itched after shooting up (for some reason, people always think you itch during withdrawal which just isn't true, that would be meth. Heroin releases histamines though, and makes you itch all over when high). I was also glad she didn't hallucinate or anything stupid like that. The story was accurate to what has actually happened and will continue to happen, which makes it all that much scarier to get a descriptive recounting of the personal details of such a horrific thing we normally would only hear impersonal details of on the news. My only complaints would be a lack of creepy factor, and maybe a less than thick plot. I still rate it 8/10 and think it could very well win POTM.
