I’m writing a revenge story. This guy or girl comes from a rich family. Their dad is a doctor and their mom is a lawyer. The kid is in their 20s and is a drug addict. Their family cut them off because of it.
The dealer kills them because they couldn’t pay the money they owed. Then a loved one goes after the dealer for revenge.
Is this good? I didn’t want to overcomplicate it by giving it a huge conspiracy, but at the same time, realistically, couldn’t they have gotten the money some other way?


Drugs =/= Drugs
But it kinda makes sense with coke and K…
Other drugs are either not that addictive / live destroying ( thinking MD/Acid) or too cheap low quality drugs (meth etc.) that don’t fit into the rich kid setting.
Of course MD and acid can have their place in the story, but I would concentrate on coke and K for realism.
Before 1900s puritanism ,lots of 'em were fucked on opiates too.
Indeed completely forgot those…
Personally I don’t connect opiates not with rich folks, but that may be regional and due to my age
