A Serenade For The Innocent 74 Advertisemen

I scrolled through my homepage and stopped momentarily to gaze at something, which made me smile a bit.

"Hehehe dumb dog."

I then continued scrolling with the same blank expression that I had earlier.

...

"Pfft."

...

I continued scrolling, finding something that would probably shed some bit of light in my dark room even for just three seconds. 

Oh?

What the f.u.c.k?

After a few minutes of scrolling through my Instagram feed to find some busty female a.s.s, some animal vids, anime edits, and stale stolen memes, I came across a rather curious little thing.

"Plural Heights Welcomes You! Click the link below to learn more."

I decided to ignore it and continued to scroll through my feed, but after a few images, I was once again greeted with an ad posted by an account named plural.heights. It's an image of the mall, but the only difference is that there's a gif of an anime character in front of the mall. Let me make this clearer for you. They put a gif of an anime character and plastered it on top of the image of the Plural Heights building and called it an ad! 

It even has an equally stupid caption! "I bet you wouldn't last for two minutes! Click the link below." 

What.

In.

The.

Flying.

f.u.c.k!?

Even in IG?

Unlike their pathetic little attempt to advertise their dead looking-a.s.s mall in a stupid p.o.r.n site, this clumsily-made ad that they posted in their Instagram account is, well, it has a photo, I guess? Wait, you know what, that Plural Heights thing has an Instagram account? Okay, I'm not surprised that a mall has this kind of account, but we're talking about THAT mall, THAT Plural Heights! I have not seen what it is like in the inside, but outside, seeing it from a few meters away, I can confidently say that holy s.h.i.+t, this place has got to be a recreation of the Kowloon Walled City!

Their Instagram post shows the same building that I had seen earlier when I hung out with Mike earlier today, but no, I refuse to believe that this is the same building! What I can see in their obviously paid advertis.e.m.e.nt in my boring Instagram feed is an icon of utter perfection along with brightly lit walls and a radiant, brand-new look. When I saw Plural Heights earlier, what I noticed is a blackened state of hot garbage, messy as s.h.i.+t, so dirty that I am confident to say that it has a lot of prost.i.tutes around it and some homeless people living inside. Not to mention, there are nothing around it aside from a few houses, some other local stores, and a 7-11, all which are erected a few meters away from the mall itself.

I just...

Ha...

Why am I so pa.s.sionate and angry about a mall, anyway? The capitalists will not change their ways because I thought poorly about them in one cold, dreary night in the dead of a spring evening.

I just wanted to pa.s.s the time so bad, all because I cannot sleep for some f.u.c.king reason. I felt so tired, drained, and unaccomplished throughout the fleeting hours that I am awake. Now that I wish to fix that once and for all, my phone suddenly grabbed my attention by showing me exactly what I don't want to see.

I threw my phone aside and heard it drop somewhere hard, but I am too lazy to see if it finally broke into a million pieces. I sat in front of my PC once more and decided to scroll through Facebook. My mind was already starting to shut down entirely along with the almost hypnotic way in which Facebook would scroll past so many other stale memes when, somewhere in my peripheral vision, a small add suddenly popped in my newsfeed while I was scrolling through my feed almost lifelessly.

It's the picture of a woman in a red dress, wearing thin makeup and thick, red lipstick. She was pointing her hands towards a building behind her, which is, you guessed it, f.u.c.king Plural Heights! I can't believe it. As if a confirmation to further heighten my annoyance, the account that posted that picture is called "Plural Heights" along with the caption: "Cozy, nice, and fres.h.!.+ All that you need in just a quick visit! Plural Heights. You and me, together as a community. Click the link below the learn more."

What am I supposed to click!? Both the IG post and the FB post does not show a link along with them! What was I supposed to click!? What was I supposed to visit? Why is this stupid mall here in my newsfeed just to remind me of this silly, c.o.c.k-softening, mind-breaking, and a.s.s tightening appointment that I had made with a stranger in Omegle of all places! I have not even seen my own mother for months, and here I am, meeting with strangers and long lost friends in just two days! I don't know why I was so happy about it earlier, but as the clock ticks forward, I get more and more anxious. I cannot just ignore because the poor guy is probably leaving now from Iowa to stay in LA tomorrow just to meet my stupid a.s.s for this bulls.h.i.+t Plural Heights c.o.c.ksuckery!

I'm so tired. I should probably lay down again.

I crawled towards my mattress and grabbed my phone a few inches away from it. I then allowed my body to drop onto the pillows as I tapped on the YouTube icon on my home screen.

Right out of the bat, what welcomed me in my recommendations is an old commercial for a mall that opened in the '80s. It's precisely the first video that the YouTube algorithm had recommended me.

"Oh my f.u.c.king G.o.d..." I said as I pinched the s.p.a.ce between my eyes. It's an old commercial from when Plural Heights had just recently opened. How am I not supposed to know that it is that same greasy mall when they're literally using the same image they used in their Instagram ad!

However...

Well...

I do like old commercials.

They have a certain charm to it; one could almost feel the past valor and the former glory of America before all of this SJW bulls.h.i.+t ruined our country to the ground.

I, well, to be frank... I wanted to watch it. Well, why not? The d.a.m.n thing had already occupied my day by the time I had woken up, what would another one of this bulls.h.i.+t do to me? I tapped on the video, thinking about what the worst could possibly happen since it's only just a 2-minute ad anyway. While the vide was loading, I instantly headed towards the comment section to see what everyone was saying about it. There's a whole lot of people joking about a particular part of the video. Still, most of them are just jesting at the fact that the YouTube algorithm had recommended them an old video that was uploaded 13 years ago. f.u.c.k, can you believe it? I didn't even know the existence of the internet 13 years ago. As I had that in my mind, the video finally started.

Right out of the bat, I can already feel the 80's vibe in it just by seeing the choppy quality of the video itself, something that I always liked seeing for some reason, although I have no nostalgia for the '80s. The commercial itself started with a parodied version of a funky Whitney Houston song along with swift footage of random people dancing outside of the mall. The entirety of the video has this ugly looking magenta and purplish overlay that makes it blurry but s.h.i.+ny at the same time. It's such an odd choice.

"I wanna dance in Plural Heights! I wanna buy what's. .h.i.t in Plural Heights!" It pretty much just looped that part over and over along with a poorly-made recreation of the song's instrumental. The singers of the song—I can faintly hear that there's about three of them—suddenly started adlibbing in unison. At the same time, the camera awkwardly did a transition that looks like it came from Windows Movie Maker way before the software was ever invented.

After that, oh so slow and sloppy transition, the viewers were greeted with a bunch of kids running towards someone. All of the children looked genuinely happy with the brightest smile I could ever see from a child. They were all giggling, screaming in excitement, or screaming the word "Mother!" repeatedly. When the camera started panning up to show their destination, it revealed a woman who was wearing a red dress, a light makes up, and thick red lipstick.

Wait a minute...

She is that...

What?

"Plural Heights!" The woman said while carrying a small girl in her hands.

"Where all dreams come true!" All of the children said all together along with the woman in red before cheering as loudly as they can with all their eyes directed towards the camera.

It then cut to a close-up show of the lady in red, smiling haughtily with a certain enigmatic charm that made the entirety of my body to step back aside from my d.i.c.k. Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

"Together, in our community, we are all one big family!" They all sang in the rhythm of that same Whitney Houston song that they ripped off earlier. The only difference is that they prolonged the last "ly" while the volume of the ad lowers.

The commercial then faded into black.

I...

Huh.

"I should probably go to sleep."

And that I did, but the thought that the mall had used the same model to promote themselves since the 80's kept me awake for a few more hours.
