From To Save a Son...
Yes, my boyish/animalistic drives had been curbed by the drugs fed me, but not exactly in a way that the doctor and the Sisters had expected. Furthermore, since the drugs had seemed to be effecive, they kept me on them. They did quit the tranquilizers, but the withdrawal (like hitting menopause) that I went through as an attempt to stop the hormones led them to keep them going.
The devil himself, whom they must have thought had entered their premises that night in the guise of a youth (me), had been driven out and replaced by a much calmer person, who wasn't a horrid youth but a subdued girl, rapidly turning into a young woman.
