I pull up in the drive of what looks like an old abandoned outlet mall. I grab my purse and lock my car. I walk up to the door and put my hands on my hips.
This is bound to be some sort of hoax, I think to myself. I I look in the windows and see empty dust covered shelves. No note. No clue. Nothing.
I walk around back and the door is swinging wide open. I walk inside the old musty and dark store room. I see a flashlight on the shelf and pick it up.
Shit, it doesn't work. I hit it up against the wall and it comes on. I shine it around at the empty shelves. I study each shelf closely and I notice that one of the shelves are silver while the rest are brown wood.
I walk over to that shelf and study it. I feel around on the counters. Nothing. I bend down to study the next one and see a golden door knob.
I stand back up and shove the shelf. Just great! It won't budge. I shove and shove and then pull. It finally budges ever so slowly and I shove it out of the way.
I twist the doorknob and see a flight of stairs.
