Spoon-fed Addiction

Adiran, a grief-ravaged drug dealer, tears through a night of revenge, but he's not the avenger; he's the carrier of a parasitic shadow. His goodbye kiss marks Angela, the sheriff's sheltered teenage daughter, as its next host.

"Grief doesn't die. It spreads."

Writer Biography - Silvano Williams

Silvano Williams is a Puerto Rican-born author and screenwriter based in Austin, Texas. He grew up in Alief, a Houston suburb, after moving from the island as a teenager.

His feature screenplay Spoon-fed Addiction (supernatural horror, 118 pages) is adapted from his novella of the same name. Set in 1995 Houston, it follows a drug dealer whose guilt becomes a literal contagion—a parasitic darkness that outlives him and infects the people he touches.

His novel The CW Chronicles: "Sinners" (2013) is a space opera with psychological drama—a traumatized veteran narrates his cosmic mission from a prison cell while facing charges of xenocide.

Williams retains full rights to all works.

Writer Statement

I wrote Spoon-fed Addiction to shed a version of myself I couldn't carry anymore. The novella came out of that impulse—catharsis disguised as fiction. The screenplay took longer because I had to figure out what the story was actually saying, not just what it was purging.

What it's saying: unresolved trauma doesn't stay contained. It spreads to the people we let in, even without intent. Adiran doesn't target Angela. He reaches for one last moment of meaning, not knowing what he's passing on. She builds a mythology to fill her own emptiness. The story doesn't offer catharsis because the consequences don't. That's the point.

I keep writing about broken people because I recognize them. The search for significance when you're not sure you deserve it. The persistence that doesn't guarantee a win. The CW Chronicles works different territory—space opera, not horror—but it's still about pushing forward against futility, even when forward doesn't mean victory.

Spoon-fed Addiction is the first project I'm bringing to the screen. It challenges audiences with a downward spiral that doesn't redeem anyone. But the core message matters now more than it did when I wrote it: unchecked apathy destroys the people closest to us—starting with the ones who were never taught to protect themselves.
