Trial by Media A Michael Jackson Stan Story

The world has spiralled into chaos, overrun by a swarm of zealous stans wreaking havoc in the streets. In the heart of a Birmingham cemetery, poor Judith finds herself under siege by an enthusiastic Michael Jackson fan. Frantic and terrified, she seeks refuge in a nearby caravan, unknowingly bumping into another survivor, Jonathan.

Inside the cosy yet isolated fiberglass haven, Judith and Jonathan huddle together, trying to make sense of the pandemonium engulfing their once-peaceful city. Outside, relentless stans roam freely, their minds twisted by a fervent obsession. With no mercy to spare, they attempt to convert anyone they encounter to their bizarre way of thinking.

Amidst the desperation, Judith and Jonathan refuse to surrender. Arming themselves with whatever makeshift weapons they can find, they brace for an relentless onslaught of glorification. The caravan becomes their fortress, a sanctuary where they can find solace and security.

Amidst the turmoil, Judith and Jonathan refuse to give in. Armed with makeshift weapons—a broomstick and a frying pan—they brace themselves for an unyielding onslaught of glorification. The caravan transforms into their fortress, a sanctuary of solace amid the madness.

Days drag on, and the attacks only escalate. The stans grow more aggressive, determined to breach the sanctuary of the caravan. Yet, Judith and Jonathan stand resolute, fueled by an unwavering will to survive.

But as time slips away, the odds grow increasingly grim. Will Judith and Jonathan manage to navigate the stan apocalypse and emerge with their sanity intact? Or will they succumb to the allure of glorifying a peculiar bed occupier? Only the passage of time holds the answers to their destiny.

In this surreal new world, fandom has morphed into a cult, and our protagonists are the brave outliers refusing to follow the herd. In their fight for freedom, they emerge as the last bastion of hope for a society that has lost its way.

But as time ticks on, the odds grow increasingly dire. Will Judith and Jonathan manage to navigate the stan apocalypse and retain their sanity? Or will they ultimately fall under the spell of glorifying a peculiar bed- occupier? Only time will tell.
