THE CRUEL ASPECT OF REALITY WAS JUST A FILTERING LIE, A JUMBLED SENTENCES OF TRUTH WHICH evaded the white lies between the lines. Filled in to perceive the youthful minds of the public, false words dropped on a piece of paper & they call it news.  Journalism was the key to the truth, fresh clippings of news plastered all across newspapers, dropped at each door step captivated readers all across the United States. Sure, Journalist don't hold their tongue when it comes to demanding or personal questions. Though unlike some journalist, there were people like Helen Swan who stuck to privacy and policy. A journal in one hand, a pen in the other with a recorder in her pocket.

One of those journalists happened to be Helen Swan, drafted and obtained by Jensen Walton after her article on the withdrawal of Marine Troops in Afghan back in the early year of 2004 right before her graduation made World News Headlines. The death of twelve US Marines had not been known to the public for the first month after the platoon men's death. It was the withdrawal of four men who made it out alive, who interviewed and witnessed the events of their men's death.

Helen felt pride in her work, she discovered something and gave the story a voice before it can be tucked under the rug. She fount the true calling of her life, a time where she felt whole. Though a part of her was always missing something, like her soul knew what it was and hasn't been giving any signs until her recent dreams. Those reflective pair of golden eyes, of a man she didn't not know. She didn't not see his face, but she saw his eyes.
