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?

    I would point out the way drug dealers kill their customers is unintentionally via overdose or bad drugs.

    Also, if you’re a parent, and you lost your only child to a drug dealer due to an overdose, that’s really all you need to want to hunt down and kill the dealer.

    A parent with nothing left to lose could be about as dangerous as it gets.

      I’m with this guy. Drug dealers killing valuable clients is incredibly rare. ODs are common. It feels more natural. Even the cartels make people work off debt. Dead man can’t pay either.
