Shopping Center

Shopping Center

The shopping center seemed to sweep upwards from the ground, its 5

princely floors all overflowing with shops, burger stalls and people,

could be seen from the enormous glass wall on the east side of the

mall. The big wedge was filled with technological gadgets which could

do anything a man or a women could do, yet never even take a gasp for

breath.

From the outside all seems peaceful and reserved as the car park is

not even mildly interesting, but take a step through those electric

doors and the first thing that hits you is the roaring of the people,

boys are shouting and laughing, children crying, women rushing. Its

all a bit too much. It seems the whole world has gathered here just to

make things a little harder for yourself. The rush is immense and

listening to the booming sound of the mall music, which makes even the

little girls feel sick is an even more horrible surprise.

As people rush by and the music continues to give the people a

headache, the escalators are carrying hordes of people upwards or

downwards. While the stairs seem destitute. It seems people are too

lazy to take even a few steps. Go up the escalator and you can see

people taking even a more easier route. The elevators. Inside a

squinting 12 year old boy carrying a milkshake drops it and wrecks the

whole thing, bawling his eyes out as the lift scuttles up the side of

the mall, finally reaching its destination.

The food floor. Walking past all the various food stalls and coffee

shops, the smell of sizzling kebabs flutters up your nose and drool

falls from even the most anorexic of women's mouths. A fish and chip

shop serves the most l...

... middle of paper ...

... if an ashes cricket match is

occurring.

As women go into shops to buy “yet another dress”, parents are dragged

about by there children into the toy shops to buy “yet another toy”

and the old people can be seen on the benches sitting and waiting…

Suddenly smells of strong chemicals hit your nose as a perfume shop

slides into your view on the left. The smell is so strong and the

“cool water” or “D&G” seems to remind people of flowers.

Flowers can also be bought normally from the big shopping center at

the corner and soon it is closing time, the shopping center seems to

deplete as people leave with bags and bags of useless junk which they

could have gotten for half price down the market.

Looking out onto the barren lands nothing moves apart from the

piddling little bug as it strides along its new found space.
