Reporting from the kingdom of fear – Correspondent

Our photographer Yuri Cortez and the cameraman take out their equipment when a sandy-colored car suddenly appears and races towards us, its tires screeching. When it reaches us, the tinted driver’s window lowers slowly. Inside we see armed men glaring at us.

“What are you doing here?!” they demand.

“We are doing a story on the town’s cenotaphs,” the video reporter answers. The men start to yell, threatening us and ordering us to leave at once. Pale as death, we get back into our car and leave the shopping mall. A few blocks away, we stop so one of us can throw up.
