East Hills Mall

Saint Joseph, is one of the biggest small cities within the state of Missouri. And as so, the town tends to try and stay at its peak by making a bigger stance for itself. But with trial comes failure time and time again.

With Jesse James being the symbol of our small city, as well as the ups and downs of downtown. Nothing compares to one of the biggest falls of Saint Joseph Missouri. Which still stands as of July 2022, The East Hills Mall.

The East Hills Mall, located slightly between South and North belt. Established in 1965, the mall was one of the few established in the Midwest at the time. According to Wikipedia, "East Hills Mall was built by Sherman Dreiseszun in 1965 as one of the first malls in the Midwestern United States.[2] Original tenants included Montgomery Ward, J. C. Penney, Safeway Inc., Katz Drug, Woolworth's, and Hirsch Brothers department store.[3] The mall was expanded in 1988, and Dillard's and Sears were added then.[4]" But this man "Sherman Dreiseszun" sorta had his way with failures.

Although, he was succeeding with an established bank and another mall set up in Kansas city. East Hills slowly had its downfall, as stores slowly closed down and the mall removed its glorifying interior design for unknown reason. Although as someone who lives in the town myself I can only assume its because the rent for each store is more than the rent for a two bedroom one bathroom house for rent.

On top of stores leaving due to high rent, cuts to the interior would stop the draw of customers. Today, I only see little to no people actually hanging around the mall. Rather than just buying for the sales. Or wanting food from the one "restaurant" left. Which is also where I work and where I get most of my perspective on the people and the downfall. Even in one of the wings or exits of the mall, they have a whole wall dedicated to the history and looking back. And as you look and the large crowds of people along with the cool ✨fountains✨. Which according to a lot of millennials who've lived in the town for quite some time. That was one of the biggest teen grab, as it provided a cool hangout spot. Rather than the lame abandoned cafeteria.

As both of these are equally good reasons for the mall to have a downfall. It wasn't quite the towns fault for it. Just a year after "Sherman Dreiseszun" died in 2007 his banks had a major fall. I can only assume that's why they started cutting costs. Along with the new establishment up towards North belt. With the most memorable name ✨The North Shops✨. Amazing right? Well even though the name wasn't the best the new outdoor mall made a big hit, and all the dedicated East hills members moved there. Leaving East Hills abandoned.

Today the mall is barely standing on two legs and the only recent rise of popularity was the cringey back to school video. And the closing of Dillard's, which has been an on and off idea, going back and forth between sales. I'm super happy to no longer deal with it, since I'm quitting my job soon. I'll right another blog on Chinex next, and try to keep you guys updated on the rest of the city's drama, dumb crime, and people.

{I don't know if other towns understand the difference between the two such as our town. So for the sake of the blog I'll establish the importance; South and North belt is mostly used for location and segregation in the city. Ex; South-poor North-Rich.}

Willow: 4&5 and C

4. How easy is it to earn their trust?

Easier than it should be, tbh. They want to give people a chance because, let's face it, a lot haven't given them a chance to prove themself.

5. How easy is it to earn their mistrust?

I would say it would take a lot for the same reason as above. But if someone else in the party were to point out their mistrust, Willow would value their judgement.

C) Did you have trouble figuring out where they fit in their own story?

Omg YES I DID. I could not figure out why Willow would be in Sigil, or what would inspire them to stay there. And then hear about other people's characters gave me the mild panic of "Fuck, I made the wrong character for this game" but it seems to be working out. Lol.

SHOOT

warning: this story may contain content not suitable for all readers. discretion is advised.

ENTRY #1: Ryder Gretzky

I DID NOT CONSIDER MYSELF A PSYCHOPATH.

In theory, a psychopath is a person who suffers from a chronic mental disorder with abnormal or violent social behaviour; a madman.

According to that definition, I had no psychopathic tendencies. I hadn't been diagnosed with any mental illnesses; I didn't behave abnormally–at least I hoped so. And I never ever exhibited any violent social behaviour.

But I suppose you haven't been reading correctly. If you were, you would have noticed that I referred to myself in the past tense. Meaning that before now I was what most people dubbed normal.

I guess stalking your best friend isn't normal. Not for most anyway.

I've known Ryder Gretzky since freshman year. A lanky boy who sat at the back of my math class and played chess on his phone instead of paying attention to Mrs. Morrison's lessons on slope and rate of change. He was tall. Really tall. The first thing I asked him was if he played basketball. He didn't. He preferred cricket.

Easthill High doesn't have a cricket team, but they have a football team. We joined together in sophomore year and climbed to the top pretty quickly. I became quarterback–still am. Ryder was a fullback—still is. I always counted on him–still do.

For someone his height, he was fast and powerful. Not to mention smooth when it came to tackling a real sport.

Girls.

They loved Ryder. Every aspect of him - from his auburn hair to his brown eyes, and particularly the two dimples situated perfectly on each cheek. I also loved Ryder too–still do. But it wasn't long before he got together with Stephanie Rodriguez.

I had never seen two human beings so perfect for one another. I was prone to believe God put them both on this planet for the sole purpose of finding each other.

I watch him stop by his locker to talk to Stephanie for a few minutes before they both head out the main doors together. They're all smiles and laughter. He's got his arm around her shoulders and she's got her lips on his cheek, a long way to go for someone her height.

The poor thing doesn't know what's coming. That I'm going to steal the only person she's learned to give her glass heart to. The death of a loved one is a strange thing. Why love when we're all going to die? It only makes the pain worse. I prefer distance, not attachment. Attachment makes people do crazy, crazy things.

I make sure to put some distance between us, stopping to hide around some corners, casually greeting a few other students, anything to seem normal.

As I exit and follow them, I observe them engaged in a passionate kiss near her vehicle. Although I have no intention of being invasive, I find myself unable to walk away. My objective is to relieve Ryder of any discomfort or distress he may be experiencing, which is the justification I offer myself.

When they're finally finished, Stephanie gets into the vehicle and drives off.

Ryder walks home every day. It used to be with me. Then I'm suddenly forgotten and the only thing on his mind is Stephanie. She stole him from me. Which is understandable, right? She's his girlfriend. But let's be honest, he isn't trying hard to remember me. We only know each other on the field.

I don't hate Ryder Gretzky. There's just an ache somewhere deep inside me. An evergrowing chasm of curiosity and wonder. A part of me that just wants to open him up and see what the hell it is that makes Ryder, well, Ryder.

I want to see his blood, and it terrifies me.

He starts down the sidewalk that leads away from the school building and takes the next right. I make sure to keep the sound of my footsteps to a minimum. The last thing I need is for him to know it's me. It'll be easier if he doesn't. Maybe he won't hate me more than he already does.

"Monty!"

I halt mid-step but don't turn to face the source of that eccentric voice. "Hey Monty, is that you?"

Monty. It's always been Jackson, Jack or Jacky. Only one girl has a special way of twisting my name into something that sounds like it belongs in a classic film from my mom's era.

"Wait up! I need to talk to you!"

She's an explosion of quirkiness, a real dramatist, a true oddball. A living, breathing, half-bred Russian and South African who's perpetually captivated by the tiniest of details. If I had been observant in the corridors earlier, I might have glimpsed her dashing toward the drama room in a frenzy of untamed papers and rich mahogany locks.

Darcy Ivanov.

She has a knack for finding me at the strangest of times. She's found me again, Ryder is now long gone.

Fuck.

Darcy jogs towards me with one of the most radiant smiles on her face. She waves exuberantly, her round hazel eyes shining beneath her round-rimmed glasses. "It feels like I haven't seen you in months, Monty. How are ya?"

I grunt an answer. As I said, I don't talk much to her.

"Anyway," she babbles on, "the drama club is putting on a school play. Are you gonna watch it? It'll be really cool. It's like Romeo and Juliet, except, cooler. You should've auditioned. I'm sure you would've gotten Romeo. You've got his blonde hair already, and those pretty blue eyes."

Darcy rocks back and forth on her heels, hands in the pocket of her beige suede skirt as she awaits my answer. As always, she doesn't receive one. "Monty, you've got such nice eyes. It's like an ocean in there."

Spinning on my heel, I begin to march in the opposite direction and away from Darcy. I failed my mission all thanks to her. Ryder is gone, and so is my only chance at finally satisfying the only craving I have.

"Wait, Monty!" she calls after me and races to my side. I don't look down at her, but she's got her eyes on me and that dazzling smile on her face. "You're so tall. I have to look up, up, up to talk to you."

I stay quiet and let my fingers curl around the Swiss Army knife in my pocket. I don't say it, but listening to her voice gives me some sort of high.

"That sucks because everyone around me is so tall. Papa. Dedushka. Uncle Abram. Mama's got height too. I don't and neither does Babushka." Her laughter is finely tuned to bring a rush of heat to my cheeks and an electric shock to my lungs. "Sad, huh? Papa looks especially tall when he speaks Russian. Kinda gives him un air de supériorité. But he always calls me his Zvezda. Star."

"You're not even short. Plus, you can speak Russian, most girls can't do that. So if you ask me, you're odd and grandly fucking irritating to be around."

I surprise her with my voice. I surprise myself too. My own sounds are foreign to me. Like I forget I even have the ability to form words.

"You think so?"

"That's a redundant question. I already gave you an answer."

She giggles. "You're pretty funny, Monty. Mostly pretty."

"Hmph, okay."

Darcy lets her eyes sweep over my face as she breaks out into another grin. I look away before she can tempt a smile out of me.

"Let's go get ice cream. It's hot out here."

"I'm lactose intolerant."

"When has that ever stopped anyone from having a little fun?"

I steal another glance at her. Instead of replying, I stop and start walking in the other direction, towards a place I hope is an ice cream shop. Darcy is absolutely beaming because she knows it too.

She reaches up on her toes and plants a little kiss on my cheek. It reminds me of Ryder and Stephanie; she had kissed him too. I'm guessing he feels this way about her. The same way I'm trying not to feel about Darcy.

She has my stomach knotted and tangled in all sorts of ways. And it's weird. Good weird. I don't get it and I don't like it. But it's not the worst thing in the world.

"You're my hero, Monty. I'll be able to get home without melting into a puddle first."

"Yeah." I glance down at her. "We wouldn't want you melting, now would we?"
