So, me and two friends (guy and his girlfriend) got lost in Auchan supermarket and began to notice odd and demonic things happening - large dolls with googly eyes which began to turn and look at us or hooded guys watching us from between the aisles.
I had this adventure book called 'The Coming of Al-Taro, Death of Atlantis' with me so I began to read it and surprise surprise, it was about young children from Atlantis locked in big shop. We then found out that the store was already closed for the night but not everyone left. There was Vladislav, a 40yrs old father with mustache and big arms; there was John, a black-skinned tourist from US, and an elderly couple and there were some other people which I don't remember anymore.
We tried to turn on a computer so we could send an email calling for help but it fried and we couldn't call for help so we decided to just use the wending machines in the offices to get food. Alas, the machines began to spit our money as burnt, molten slag which further implied demonic forces in the works. After some time, I got to the Chapter 2 of the book and that's where a girl called Annie appeared to the main protagonist. Lo and behold, we find Annie the red-head and her nerdy boyfriend in the foodstuff section of the shop, eating dinner.
So we talked and we got some more premonitions about Taro, including a demonic laughter when we approached section with... gay romance novels. We didn't go there but that was the moment which struck me with certain idea, so I've began to read my adventure book very carefully. It was very similar to what was happening to us so I began to flip the book few chapters each and soon, just like kids in the book, we have met Pazan the Satyr who explained to us that Al-Taro is Death and kills all whom he shows up to and that the mall is haunted.
Apparently I fell asleep from exhaustion and have a dream about making a game in RPG Maker XP where my soldier guy delves into some caves and then into pyramid to face his fears and destroy some god but in the end he and Pazan (who was in the game too) got horribly murdered in some wonky crystal cave. I woke up in the mall again because I was hungry.
Pazan then takes us to the gay romance novels sections and suddenly Al-Taro appears (your usual grim reaper). Pazan screams, falls to the floor and melts into puddle of tar as Al-Taro dissappears with laughter. By that time there was like 8 or so people locked in the mall including an elderly couple of christians who somehow procured several two-litre bottles of holy water? Anyways; that was the moment in which I simply flipped to the end of the book to check what happens... Apparently we're all gonna die because Al-Taro will flood the mall with demons and hellhounds and what have you, at midnight. So I gathered everyone and explained to them that we have to die but we're not gonna make it easy for Death to get us.
We began to make barricades in the 'lost and found luggage' section, and stock on holy water and bladed weapons (this was Poland and thus no guns, but John pulled out a big-ass shotgun out of his hoodie somehow). Unfortunately Vladislav went mad, locked himself in intercom office booth and set himself on fire. We all heard his screams.
We had pretty impressive barricades made from cardboard boxes and plastic chairs and candy floss bags, and just in time; midnight happened with lots of church bell heard outside the store, but unlike we've hoped, the demons began to appear not at the mall's doors, but in the very inside of our barricades; cheating bastards. John gunned few before getting his head and spine pulled out of his body. My friends and elderly couple and other people didn't last long either, the blades not doing anything to the devils and holy water only sizzling them a bit.
The last thing before waking up I remember is that I crawled in blood, along the shiny tiled floor of the market and didn't feel anything lower than my chest so I guess I was ripped in half and crawling around in shock.
That's when I woke up.
"Bah, they're onto us!" Marpa moved to the pillars as Dag hid near the wall and called a blast of icicles onto the officer around the corner; in the meanwhile, Mannan quickly dissipated the poisonous cloud lingering around Charlotte with a wave of his staff.
