I know I should get the cinnamon sugar pretzel because it is the only one on the menu that tastes like a reasonable facsimile of food, but instead I opt for a pizza pretzel because I am feeling saucy.

My stomach begins to knot before the food even reaches my esophagus, and by the time it has entered my stomach I am already deep in the throes of dysentery. I void my bowels into the deactivated water fountain like so many before me; the handfuls of change once carrying the ersatz wishes of small children are now completely occluded by the thick film of feces on top.

I drop into a seated position and poo poo-scoot my way to an inexplicably still-open head shop, where I purchase enough incense and patchouli to mask the smell of Auntie Anne's Gastrointestinal Event. I press further into the mall and find a video game store, where I purchase some used GameBoy Advance games for 95% of their original MSRP. The games do not include instructions or original packaging. Today is a good day.

Portly middleaged men start gathering around the dry fountain, photographing dying plants and empty stores and blasting Floral Shoppe from their phones.

The dry fountain at the dead mall of my youth got taken over by the local garden railway society for a few years before it was ripped out completely.

For one brief shining moment, those old fogeys had a purpose :qq:

I'm the dead malls vlogger rehearsing my voiceover monologue while pacing the ghostly empty food court. I'm holding my phone in front of me and trying to look like I'm not recording. While scanning for the mall security dude I see a rival vlogger approaching, going the other way. He's got a nice panasonic on a gimbal. We make eye contact. He smirks as he sees the lame samsung in my grip.

Doing stuff and things


I sit at my pretzel station... it's quieter than usual. Hours go by and not a single customer.

I hear scuffling below, some kids pointing and talking as they walk around with a go pro on the first floor.

Now's my chance.

"Hey, kids! Want to buy a pretzel!?"

They seem to panic before realizing it's just some pretzel stand employee.

"No thanks! We were just doing an urban exploration video!"

"That's silly, this place isn't even abandoned yet!"

I chuckle and push away the branches and vines to get back to my pretzel stand.

this is a better avatar than what I had before
I have a day off while on a work trip. I decide to visit a real American Mall.

The uber is a Tesla. The guy asks if I've been to hooters and I say no. He recommends another place called "knockers" because the girls have bigger tits and the wings are better. He drops me off outside. It's hot

I go inside and find a mall identical to every mall we have in Australia. I buy a fruit juice and then leave

You both freeze at the distant echo, a third voice. It can only be...

Used to be a library there, now it's a wedding dress store.

The Sears caught on fire and someone died, and another 'family' got caught living in an abandoned store abusing thier kids.

Can always still go get pricing or tattoos at Expo if you feel like gambling tho

Lmao I work in that loving mall and we got evaced for a gas leak last month, no wonder the roof blew off the Sears.

It's been almost 50 years, are you ever gonna fix this roof, floor and pipes?

Everyone's so superstitious about the 10 ghosts that haunt the place now.

It's not haunted, there's a dang gap in the celing
