Y/N

'J I/m being serious can we not just burn the fucking dolls?'

Your partner Jorel laughs at your fear, not quite understanding why you had a problem with some dolls your grandma had gifted you in her will.

He wipes away a fake tear, 'let's just open the box y/n, she might not have sent you any creepy ones?'

You snort, they were all creepy. Your grandma had shelves all around the spare bedroom you use to stay in as a child full of 'antique' and 'priceless' dolls she'd collected over the years. Those things gave you nightmares and watched you with their beady glazed eyes.

Jorel opens the rather large box and you stay back a few feet not wanting to be near the horrific items. With his back turned to you, he bends down and begins rummaging through the box.

'Here catch!' he shouts, turning around quickly and throws something at you.

You catch the item and scream before dropping it, 'NOT FUNNY J!'

The doll Jorel had thrown at you looked like half its face had been melted off in a freak accident, but your grandma adored it and said the melted look gave it character, yeah a character in a horror film maybe.

He puts his hands on his hips trying to calm himself down, 'ok, I'll admit that was cruel but funny y/n. Some of these dolls are disturbing.'

You nudge the doll at your feet towards the box, 'see now why I wanted to burn them, some of them are probably cursed or haunted.'

Jorel pulls you into a hug and you rest your head on his shoulder, 'or we could have some fun before the burning commences.'

You roll your eyes, 'what kind of fun J?'

Jorel laughs and you pull back seeing a mischievous grin on his face, 'it's October the perfect time for scary pranks. I think we place some of these dolls around the studio and in the guy's houses to scare them.'

Sometimes you questioned your partner's sanity, especially when he came up with cruel pranks, but it would be funny to watch four grown men scream at a perfectly placed creepy doll.

You bite your lip, 'I'm in, but you've got to place the dolls and I'll keep a lookout, no way in hell am I touching any of them.'

Jorel nods, leans forwards and kisses your lips, 'we're the perfect team y/n, us and our army of dolls.'

1 MONTH LATER

In Mexico there are private hospitals, very good but too expensive for most here. The majority of the people has to resort to public health institutions. Fortunately these public hospitals offered treatment for cancer.

Imagine you are taking a relative, be it your son, daughter, brother, sister or parents, to receive chemoterapy in an attempt to save them from cancer. Somehow, as the treatment goes on, he/she doesn’t get better but instead his/her health starts deteriorating. The doctors change the medication but the damage is done and your loved one will die soon. You decide to let it go and ignore you doctor’s claim that they’re waiting for laboratory tests to check if there was something wrong with the medication. You just want to forget about it; “he/she simply fell victim of the disease”, you think.

Then you read your loved one wasn’t the same, you realize many other patients died and the analysis’ results are clear: the medication was just distilled water. I bet “he/she could’ve lived” is one of the many things you’ll think.

“Under fugitive former Governor Javier Duarte, cancer patients were treated with distilled water passed off as chemotherapy treatment. Children with cancer were treated with “fake chemotherapy” in the southeastern Mexican state of Veracruz due to budget shortfall and resources diverted during the past administration, Governor Miguel Angel Yunes revealed Monday.

“’We already have results from a laboratory that pointed out that the medicine given to children, a chemotherapy that was given to children, was not really a drug, but an inert compound, it was practically distilled water,’ the governor said.

“This criminal activity, which has raised outrage among Mexicans, was conducted by the health ministry, under the administration of fugitive former Governor Javier Duarte, who resigned from his post in October to face corruption charges and disappeared a week later.

“Governor Yunes described the action as a “brutal sin” and an "attack" on the lives of children and cancer patients. He added that once the analysis of those chemotherapies concludes, complaints and legal actions will be taken.

“He did not say how many people were affected by this scandal but said more details will be revealed in time.

“Duarte was a close ally of President Enrique Peña Nieto until last October when his membership in the PRI was nullified after investigators opened a corruption probe against him. Prosecutors say Duarte embezzled or misspent as much as US$2 billion since he took office nearly six years ago.

“Authorities have raided several of his properties and have found millions of dollars in cash, luxury goods and artwork.

“Duarte denied the accusations against him before his disappearance but has not spoken publicly since. Police continue to search for the runaway politician, who has been charged with organized crime and money laundering.

“The fugitive governor presided over a violent time in Veracruz and his administration has been accused of human rights violations. Under Duarte's watch, at least 18 journalists were murdered in Veracruz and hundreds of bodies were discovered in mass graves throughout the coastal state”.
