The Haunting of West Edmonton Mall


Far, far out west of Canada
in the icy cold city of Edmonton
in the province of Alberta,
lies a stately mall of gigantic proportions called West Edmonton Mall ...
where millions come visiting ...
to splash money lavishly on food, games, wine, women and song ...


When darkness falls
and the air is still ...
with not a sound all around
I will come forth from once boisterous Bourbon Street ...
after I awake in eternal unrest
to seek justice in this cruel world around me ...
where the poor, downtrodden and weak
suffering women are lonesome, often make the bad choice of high risk living
and in tragically sad unkind barbaric inhumanity
are sexually abused and even slain in different ways ...


To be continued when the medium awakes ...

I went to West Ed Mall once with my cousin. After wandering around the mall for an hour we spent a couple of hours wandering around the parking lot looking for the car.

A very good sign of urban quality is rare and expensive parking. If great globs of parking is provided for free you are in the "suburban dimension".
