Mall Being(s): Baseball Card Man

A sports-fan in the United States hallucinates seeing 'beings' inside the Woodland-Mall while seeking a special 'Upper-Deck treasure' for definition.

A sports-treasure fable with touches of mystery, very loosely inspired by Mr. Destiny (Michael Caine), which I think you'll enjoy! 

DISCLAIMER: I've no official ties to the treasures/sports-items or institutions referenced in this work of social depiction.

Amlan Satan wanted to trade his nifty Franco-1990 card for an amazing Mariano Duncan 1990 Upper-Deck card (baseball!) with a fair exchange markup value consent at the Woodland Mall sports-cards store in Michigan during his summer-vacation.

AMLAN SATAN: The sports/games store inside this Michigan shopping complex with baseball-cards is owned by a good guy!

The Woodland Mall (Michigan) was known for hospitable consumerism and good products/goods and services and Satan knew that his card-trade would be agreeable to the store-owner inside the shopping-complex, which excited him, since he wanted to play a little 'capitalism-game' by entreating this private contract with the cards-merchant in the United States, a nice message about Earth-capital. Follow along.

AMLAN SATAN: Taking this summertime-break to indulge in childhood cards-hobby is a 'cool' experience for a Catholic for hire.

In his younger years, Satan boasted a rather bold baseball-cards collection which included the Canseco-rookie card, the John Olerud rookie-card, Sammy Sosa, Barry Bonds, and a Rickey Henderson classic-card. He posted/shared images of these consumerism/media treasures with his Facebook-chess opponents/buds.

AMLAN SATAN: What sets baseball apart from other sports on Earth is the light-attention to the fan-based humanism/IQ.

However, after he made his glorious trade/purchase for the Mariano Duncan treasure in Michigan for summer-express, inside the Woodland building, he started hallucinating that he was 'witnessing' the traversing of ghosts/specters/beings of extra-human or even 'alien' proportion! He began to wonder if the light-hearted spirit of this conscious consumerism 'summer shopping adventure' brought him to some strange 'existential zone' of magic or darkness! He even thought the mannequins inside the mall were coming alive. He told himself, "It's just the card acquisition prompting these images of pure dreams."

WIFE: Why'd you think the Upper-Deck had anything to do with those 'alien' visions, as a normal Catholic-dude?
SATAN: I'm really not sure, darling...I think it had something to do with...the collection of data.
