Chapter 1

Awaken by a sudden smell, where i find myself in a completely empty shopping mall. Its summer yet its cold and snowing here. Every store is empty and every shelf in the store is empty too. Walking around by myself has me feeling uneasy and has an eerie feeling as well. Even though there is nobody here I just feel as if somebody is watching me. No matter where I look there is nothing there but emptiness. I hear some familiar sounds as if I'm watching a movie. I go to where the sound is and its an auditorium full of people. To me they look dead but they're all just sitting there like statues. "Hello there" I say with caution when they all stand up and stare at me. Their eyes white and as empty as a brick wall. They're whispering some language I've never heard of and at the same time im whispering to myself. In the next room I see a tall like figure standing there with eyes so hollow it can make even the strongest feel uneasy. In a full panic I run away as fast as I can. I run and I run but it's still right behind me. This thing is chasing me but it's not screaming or laughing at all, its just running almost the same pace I am. The cold doesn't seem to go away at all, in fact the further I go into the mall the colder it gets. It feels as though I'm at the top of Mount everest and it's only getting colder. I stop running and look behind me in an instant but that thing is gone. That weird tall like creature is gone, did I outrun it or was I just imagining being chased. My sanity feels like its slipping through my fingers. Was I actually seeing all that I saw or was I imagining it? How did I end up in a freezing cold mall in the summer? I finally find a warm place where I can lay down. Close my eyes and fall asleep. When I awake I see its still in the day time so I figured I only slept for an hour or so, but my watch says midnight. How can this be, how could I have slept to midnight and the sun is still out. Stomach rumbling so I walk around looking for food but all that I see are vending machines. I figure it's better than starving to death, I eat whatever it is that's in the vending machine.

Eating the junk food in the vending machine gives me some energy which helps me to keep going. I cannot remember the last time I felt this weak, my body feels like it's about to break. My mind feels like it's going insane, I find myself asking questions like am I really seeing all of this? Is it actually midnight? I feel like I'm gonna lose my sanity, why must I feel this way. Been walking for hours but it feels I've been walking for days. I wish I could stop feeling uneasy but I cannot stop feeling this way. Something or someone is watching because I can feel it and at times I can hear something breathing down my neck.

Why do I have this feeling as if something bad is gonna happen to me but I just don't know when it'll happen. I feel my heart pounding like it's gonna just burst through my chest at any moment. I sneak into the first store to see what's inside and I see that creature again. I drop to the floor before it sees me and I hope it didn't see me. I hear it walking around and breathing. It's breathing becomes more erratic by the minute, but it suddenly stops. If this thing sees me again I know that I'm done for so I try my best to sneak past it. As I'm sneaking past it I keep my eyes on it the whole time. I'm lucky enough to sneak past it without it noticing me and a take a breath of relief knowing that I am still alive. Out of nowhere I catch myself staring at a mirror, I look the same but somehow I am different. I can't help but think something is wrong with me and that a part of me lost itself somewhere in this hell hole. I just stare at myself in the mirror when I finally notice it. I feel as though I'm looking at someone else for my reflection is smiling at me. Am I going crazy or does this place have a hold of me? I try my best to look away but I am glued to the mirror. I touch the mirror and it feels like I put my hand against a fire pit.

Chapter 2

This mall is cold like the winter but the mirror almost burns to the touch. As I stare at the mirror longer the more uneasy I become, I see my reflection but somehow it doesn't seem like my reflection. It seems like something more sinister and that it makes me feel like I am truly losing my sanity. I look back and see that creature lurking about, so I hide in a supply closet. I hold my breath as it walks by looking for me, I don't want it to hear me. If it hears me then I know I am a dead man. A few minutes go by and there is no sign of it. I walk out slowly peaking around every corner but it is nowhere to be seen. This place seems familiar but at the same time it seems new to me. Why does this thing keep looking for me?

For some reason that thing feels familiar to me as if I know it, but I won't risk my life running away from it. I find a place to sleep in a small locker room, this is the only room that feels warm. It takes me hours to fall asleep but when woke up, I looked at my watch and see that 2 days have passed by. Waking up with a cold sweat always made me feel uneasy. I always wonder if I'll ever escape this place or will I die here.

Chapter 3

I don't know what day it is, I don't even know what the time is. All I do know is that I better not let that thing catch me. I've been living off of junk food for who knows how long. If only I had an actual meal instead of all this junk food. But it's way better than starving to death right now. The more I think about it, starving to death is a lot better than that thing finding me and killing me. Who knows what it'll do to me if it catches me, my death may be quick and painless or it may be slow and painful. Looking around this place is a challenge that gets harder and harder every day. I'm literally putting my life at risk trying to find my way out. At times it seems worth it but other times it feels like it's not worth it. Finding a weapon would help out so much right now cause at least I can defend myself from that thing.
