"... questions are still on the lips of many in Salem over events of the past few days, but it seems as though events have conspired to bring brand new questions to the forefront." While the main news was reported on local channels, radio stations and news apps on Smartphones all told a similar tale. "This is Chuck Ball reporting. Breaking news from several sources are reporting one of the strangest weather phenomenon- which is saying something. What began as a curious weather report earlier in the day turned into pandemonium in the park as at least two individuals drastically altered park conditions. While only minor injuries have been reported thus far, one section of Salem Park has been turned into an arid wasteland, while another section is defying the season by becoming completely overgrown. Curiously, over half the park remains untouched in the wake of these developments. META agents are in the process of setting up a perimeter, and our news chopper is moving into position now to get an eye on the situation. What do you have for us, Dave?"
The view switched to the familiar top down camera of a news chopper as it settled in above the park. From just a bare glimpse one could see at least one fourth of the park had been washed in flames, burnt husks of trees along with suddenly dry and cracked ground. Meanwhile, another fourth was absolutely teeming with plants, and even wildlife suddently coming out of hibernation. There were even visible evidence of plants and flowers clearly not found in the Salem area, even to novice eyes. The other half of the park remained normal in comparison. One could also see the META perimiter being developed, barricades set up to keep people out.
"As you can see, Chuck, the scene is very curious. Reports coming in from the ground say those that caused it gave park visitors a warning to leave, and given recent events most were quick to heed them. Details on the inviduals are slim so far, but reports are still rolling in." The camera cut back to the news room.
"Thanks, Dave. More on this story as it develops."
