>I need a complete story. Here's the outline:


Once upon a time in a beach community there was a homeless girl named Madelyn. Every morning, with the money collected from her friends the night before, Madelyn buys heroin from her drug dealer and walks about town making deliveries. One day she receives a weak batch. Because of that, Madelyn is confronted with sobriety and spends the first half of the day losing her mind. Because of that, Madelyn is faced with the necessity to learn to overcome her problems without drugs. Until finally she does reach some sort of enlightenment, and as a result comes upon a very good batch of heroin.
