I went to a local Kmart as the Bankruptcy was happening and they were liquidating everything. It was one that hadn't been remodeled in a long time. Was awful one of the most depressing vibes I ever felt. Side note in the Nineties that every time I went in I suddenly had explosive diarrhea within 10 minutes of walking in the store, not like once or twice, but a dozen times easily. I swear it was something with the fluorescent lighting.
No never that bad I always made it. After the first 2-3 times I would just go straight to the bathroom as soon as I got in the store, then did my shopping
But I have romped around an abandoned naval base multiple times. Can't do it anymore, though. The city it was posted in finally reclaimed it. Bit of a shame, there was some wild stuff to be found in there.
This was a thought-provoking and idea-inspiring story! How do we deal with death? Of a stranger who lived in the house before us? Of a chain of stores? Of a decade? What if we don't deal with death properly? What does that do to us?
"And she had to be the strangest little girl I’ve ever seen in my whole life." < delete that sentence and you'll see the ghost reveal will become way more powerful.
Excellently creepy and well told. I like the narration style and the idea of it being a found paranormal activity post. Fantastic. Dying Kmarts are depressing and eerie, but I never saw the poor dead fish.
I remember when the K-Mart in my home town died. It was so much like this. You took me back. Great writing ❤️

There’s an empty K-mart in the town next to me and it was creepy when it was going out of business and was the last Kmart in the state!
Great story.
Have I ever been in a dying K-Mart? No.

I liked it, very convincing 1st person tale of a creepy experience.
Well done!

Excellent! Reminded me of early Stephen King !
Yes!! Same here on the old, decrepit, low, low ceilinged, blue light haunted K-mart!!
Enjoyed this read very much, had me hooked!👻
Great writing!! Had me nervous😱

Great story! Great story. I like the voice of the narrator. That simple style was a good choice.
