Anchor (Studio): Good evening, I’m Brick Vance. We begin tonight with breaking news out of the Lower Valley. A local family is facing unimaginable hardship tonight. We’ve received reports that they are completely without electricity, without running water, and without central heating. Anchor: For more on this devastating story, we go live to our field reporter, Courtney Flint, who is standing by outside the family's dwelling. Courtney, what are the conditions like out there? Courtney (Field): (Standing in front of a damp, dark cave opening, wearing a perfectly tailored trench coat, clutching a microphone. It is sleeting.) Brick, it is an absolute nightmare. I’m standing outside the Grokson family cave, and the conditions are exactly as you described: absolutely zero electricity. No Wi-Fi, no lights, no plumbing. And to make matters worse, Brick? They have never had it. Ever. For their entire existence. Anchor (Studio): (Feigning deep shock) Never? Have local authorities provided an ETA on when the grid might be established? Courtney (Field): They haven't, Brick. In fact, electricity won't be invented for another 2.5 million years. I spoke with the homeowner, Grog, earlier today. (Cut to a clip of Grog, a filthy man in a poorly tied animal pelt, shivering violently holding a stick.) Grog (Subtitled): Yesterday, lightning hit a tree. We had fire. It was warm. Then it rained. Fire gone. Now we sit in dark. My son ate a poisonous beetle. Courtney (Voiceover): A devastating blow to a family already struggling with a 100% infant mortality rate. Grog tells me they’ve been forced to resort to sleeping huddled together on a pile of sharp rocks just to survive the freezing temperatures. Courtney (Live): Brick, the Groksons are asking the community for prayers, and also for anyone who might know how to smash two specific rocks together to make a spark. Back to you. Anchor (Studio): Just heartbreaking, Courtney. We’ll keep the Grokson family in our thoughts.
