The Shattered Pill (Most Literal & Graphic) Visual: An extreme close-up of a bright, electric blue ROXIE pill dominating the frame. It's violently shattered/cracked down the middle like fractured ice or broken stone. Within the crack, instead of powder, swirl a sickly, toxic mix of colors: icy white (fentanyl), harsh yellow (meth), dirty grey (cocaine), and inky black (other poisons). This ooze bleeds out slightly onto a stark, cold white background. Foreground: Lying partially under the shattered pill, slightly out-of-focus, is a cheap, discarded cell phone screen. The screen is dark/cracked, but the faint ghost-image of "SASA" is barely visible in the call log. A single, sharp crack in the screen points directly towards the pill's fracture. Text: "STICKS & STONES" in bold, heavy, chiseled concrete-gray letters, slightly fractured or eroded, positioned powerfully above or below the pill. Author name small, bottom corner. Color Palette: Electric Blue (pill), Harsh White (background), Sickly Yellow/Grey/Black (ooze), Cold Steel Gray (text).
