===========================================================================

There was a passionate journalist, named Mary Jane

She has medium wavelength hair that has the color of a brunette with a cute height, perfect for her cute voice.

She's known as an energetic person that's always eager to work.

Everyone loves her for her bright personality and hard-working spirit.

She is also known as a talented journalist since she could write on any topic with great details and precision.

That's why today, her boss told her to substitute for a journalist that covers economics.

She was supposed to investigate a certain town.

With no knowledge and grasp of the situation, she went straight to the Town of Salubrious

*****

Mary Jane's POV

They told me that it was just "A bad season with an unlucky harvest."

But no matter how you look at this town, its impossible to be just an unlucky harvest. 

It was a serious case of deprivation.

All of the citizens were scrawny and bony
They barely got any meat left in their bodies
And they look like, they'd kill each other for a piece of bread.

As I pass through them, they would scowl at me
And bang at my vehicle's door. 

Each knock they make would echo in my head and cause a turmoil in my mind.

Regardless, I still forced my way through because looking at them only filled me with determination to know the truth.

It was nighttime when I arrived at the town hall.

They were all busy preparing something although I couldn't tell what it is. 

I asked around to look for people I could interview but they all refused me.

They would only point me to different directions until I arrived in a room where there was a lot of food laid in the table that made it look like a banquet was being held. 

The officials started gathering and one of them whispered into my ears and said, "Don't eat what they give you."

Afterwards, he immediately left as if he was running away. 

To begin with, I was already suspicious because they got tons of food although their citizens barely has any food to eat and their bellies are so huge compared to the people's starved state.

The officials approached me and lead me to my seat. 

They claimed that they prepared this feast for me but I was hesitant to eat because of the man's warning and my guts instinct.
