Synopsis: Medication (working title)

In the year 2024, the drug E-65 was perfected and humanity as we know it ceased to exist. What was left was a ghost of our race. At first glance, everything seems fine. People are going through their daily routines; eating, sleeping, going to work, watching TV. The first thing you will notice is the absence of conversation. No one says a word to anyone else unless they need food or some other necessity, including the drug of course. Why bother, when they are already perfectly content? Take a closer look and you will notice the decay. The streets are caked with dirt, garbage drifts by in the wind. The windows of the office buildings are filthy. The cars are all unwashed. even the people are messy, their ties loose, their suits dirty, their hair unwashed, their nails uncut. Look even closer and you will see that the people are all the same. Their hair and eyes may be different colours, they may be different heights and their faces may be different, but the expression of simple, thoughtless happiness on every face is exactly the same. This is what E-65 did. This is the world in which Thomas Smith lives, and which he accepts, until one day his prescription is late and his world is thrown into a storm of emotions which threatens to tear his fragile mind apart.
