Jun Salcedo was still in his dingy office working on his still gigantic computer. The tabloid is too poor to even afford newer computers. How could he even complain when his stories are full of bull. He’s been working for the company for few years now but he still haven’t got a story that would change his life.

All he need is a tasty story to feed the wolves.

As he was typing away, a notification showed on the left side of his screen.

The subject wasn’t hard to notice.

JOSH MENDOZA IS A LIAR

He opened the email and it only contained words that says,

Josh Mendoza is a fake. There's no dead girlfriend. Everything was a lie.

His brows furrowed in annoyance. Some batshit-crazy fan girl must’ve gotten his email and decided to send hate emails for Josh to him.

After his team’s victory, Josh became secluded and depressed. Jun heard that Josh is back, feeling much better and he is also helping out a cancer foundation.

He dismissed the email from nodeadgirlfriend@email.com.Jun huffed in disbelief, shook his head and went back to doing his job. After another hour, he went home in a small apartment.

He went to change his clothes and eat his TV-Dinner. Before going to sleep, he used his ridiculously old laptop and fired it up, he checked his email and noticed 50,000 emails.

All from nodeadgirlfriend@email.com.
