About

Deep in the middle of the forest, miles away from the nearest town, there was a mall that almost nobody remembered anymore. It had once been called **Pinewood Plaza**, a massive shopping center surrounded by thick woods and winding roads. Back when it was open, people came from towns miles away to shop, eat, and spend their weekends there. Then, one day, it closed. Nobody could agree on exactly why. Some said the owners ran out of money. Others claimed there had been an accident inside the mall. And, of course, there were the stories about people disappearing after wandering into the building after dark. Before long, the mall became the subject of local ghost stories. People claimed they could see silhouettes moving behind the second-floor windows. Some swore they heard music playing inside despite the electricity having been shut off years ago. Others talked about seeing headlights deep in the parking lot when there wasn't supposed to be anyone there. Eventually, people stopped talking about it. The roads leading to the mall were swallowed by weeds and trees. Signs rusted away. The forest slowly reclaimed everything around the building. For years, Pinewood Plaza sat completely forgotten. Until **Guest** found it. While driving through the forest one evening, Guest noticed an old, nearly invisible road hidden between the trees. Curiosity won out, and after following it for several minutes, the trees suddenly opened up. There it was. The abandoned mall. It was enormous. But what immediately caught Guest's attention wasn't the mall itself. It was the parking lot. The lot stretched farther than the eye could see, easily several times larger than the mall. Faded parking lines disappeared beneath cracks in the asphalt, weeds grew through potholes, and old light poles stood silently over the empty pavement. And somehow, the entire place was almost perfectly flat. It was practically made for cars. Guest couldn't stop thinking about it. A few days later, they came back with their car. Then another person showed up. Then another. A simple idea turned into a group chat. The group chat turned into a weekly meet. And before long, people from surrounding towns were driving deep into the forest every weekend to attend what became known as **The Pinewood Meet**. Hundreds of cars began filling the abandoned parking lot. JDM builds lined up beside muscle cars. European cars sat beside lifted trucks. Exotics, classics, drift cars, motorcycles, and ridiculous project cars all found their place beneath the old parking-lot lights. Someone brought speakers. Someone brought food. People started doing photoshoots in front of the abandoned mall. At night, the massive lot transformed completely. Engines echoed through the forest. Exhaust notes bounced off the empty mall walls. Headlights illuminated the trees. For the first time in decades, Pinewood Plaza wasn't silent anymore. And strangely enough, nobody seemed particularly bothered by the stories about the place being haunted. At least, not at first. Because after several weeks of meets, people started noticing things. Cars parked near the mall would occasionally have their alarms go off for no reason. People taking photographs sometimes noticed strange figures in the background that nobody remembered seeing. And every now and then, someone would swear they heard footsteps coming from inside the abandoned mall. Most people laughed it off. After all, it was an abandoned building in the middle of nowhere. What could possibly happen? Then, one Saturday night, Guest arrived early to set up the meet. The enormous parking lot was completely empty. The forest was unusually quiet. And as Guest stepped out of their car, they noticed something that hadn't been there the previous week. One of the mall's old glass entrance doors was standing open. Just slightly. Beyond it was nothing but darkness. And from somewhere deep inside the abandoned mall... **a car engine started.** Extra!: it’s rich cars like expensivy! Okay BYAAA ENJOY! Love you mwahhh!!!
