My name is Jake and I am just your ordinary everyday twenty one year old guy. I was driving down the freeway, on my way home from work, when I came across a sign that read "Merlin's Mega Mall Next Exit". This was strange because I have been up and down the freeway for years and have never seen a mall called Merlin's Mega Mall, let alone an exit on this stretch of road. It must be new. Real new. Suspiciously new. However being the curious person that I am, I turned off the next exit to head towards this mysterious new mall. I turned onto the street at the end of the ramp and was instantly graced with the sight of the mega mall. The only thoughts I had as I approached the parking lot was 'HOLY SHIT!'. I mean this place was huge. How could I have never noticed it before. It was bigger than any mall I have been to in North Carolina, and we have a sinful amount of malls in North Carolina. It was like this place had appeared over night like magic. But that's ridiculous, magic doesn't exist and if it did I doubt it would be used to create a shopping mall out of nowhere. Especially since we have dozens all around, literally twenty minutes from each other. However that didn't distinguished the fact that something was funny about this mall.
I found a parking spot, with ease, near the main entrance to the mall. I got out of my car and instead of being kicked in the face from the summer heat I was blessed with a nice breeze. The weather was perfect. Temperatures must have been around the mid seventies, which was impossible because when I left work fifteen minutes ago the temperature was roughly in the high nineties. This raised my suspicions, but I sure as hell wasn't complaining. There were only a hundred or two cars in the parking lot, which wasn't too surprising because it's only Tuesday and I am sure word has yet to get out that there was a new shopping mall.
I walked in through the sliding glass doors and my jaw almost hit the floor when I saw just how truly humongous this mall was. It was incredible. Up ahead was a food court that must have somewhere around three dozen stalls, as well as well over six hundred tables to seat guests. However, the first "strange" thing I noticed was the names of the food stalls. I haven't heard of any of these food chains. Not a single one. One stall was called Dragon Burgers while another stall was titled Norbert's Life Changing Ice Cream. Near the entrance, where I still stood, was a well with a sign that read "Wishing Well" and next to it was a map of the mall. Not knowing where anything was in this massive place, went to go take a look at what this mall had to offer and holy cow shit did it offer a lot.
There must have been hundreds of stores listed, all well categorized. Thank God, other wise he might as well be walking around blind, because none of these stores seemed familiar. But where should I go? There is clearly a lot to do here? Shit, they even have an Aquarium and an Indoor Amusement Park? Disregarding not knowing any of the stores, I had bank account filled with hard earned cash and I was ready to have some fun. But where too start?
