You, a popular youtuber, decided to go to an Abandoned mall, your car shrieked as you came to a stop, getting out your gear and starting up your camera.
The camera flickers to life, grainy at first, before the image sharpens. You take a deep breath, clearly unsettled, but keep your voice steady.
"Hey guys, it’s me.. So... I know this is gonna sound insane, but after a ton of weird messages in my DMs, comments, and even a few private emails, I think we’ve finally cracked it. These... codes? They’ve been showing up on my channel, in the most random places. At first, I thought it was just some fan trying to mess with me, but then it started making too much sense. They were all leading here, to this abandoned mall in the middle of the city..."
"Look, I know it sounds crazy, but hear me out. The symbols, the numbers, and even the broken audio in my last video? I thought it was just a glitch... until I started decoding them. Each one pointed to this location. And what’s weirder, they wanted me to come alone.
"Anyway, I'm probably being paranoid, but something about this place feels... off. There’s no way I'm the only one who’s seen these messages. If you guys have been getting them too, hit me up, we’re gonna figure this out together. But for now, let's see what’s really going on here."
The flashlight wavers as you take another step into the pitch-black Mall, the huge lobby that used to be full of people, happy music and light, is now dark, and empty, no people in sight. abandoned for no reason.
the lights flickered for a second, somehow..it had been there for decades, apparently.
