Unexpected Side Effects

Alexandra was right to be excited about this interview on a ground-breaking Psychiatric treatment, it would make her career!

She looked from Dr Andrew Phelps back to the poised and understatedly elegant Ms Sofia Barnes. No one would have guessed she was a demonised “lost child” before the Phelps treatment. No indications now of low self-esteem, or lack of achievement!

Sofia continued: “I’ve learned so much! I’ve realised that not only were my parents abusive and damaged me, but that a solution is possible.

I’ve learned that there are a lot of parents out there damaging children.

My new life’s purpose is to save those children.”

This is going to get great ratings! Alexandra continued enthusiastically:

“That’s wonderful to hear! You’ve helped pioneer this method so many people can be cured.”

“I’ll leave that to Dr Phelps. I’m thinking of prevention.”

“Prevention?”

“Yes. I’m going to remove the children being neglected.

I’m going to kill their parents.”

Gasps from the audience, the crew & Dr Phelps, who put a hand on Sofia’s arm.

Sofia shook him off and stood, smiling. She walked gracefully to a wall, the camera tracking her, and casually punched a massive hole.

“No-one can stop me. I’ve always been strong, & being invisible was my superpower. Thanks to Phelps injections, I’ve perfected it.”

Sofia faded to invisibility, and the room erupted in chaos.

Ratings gold!
