Dead Rising: Jon's Story
It was a mall, just like any other mall. Of course, until the outbreak happened. Jon Irving never knew the name of the mall, he was on vacation with his 2 kids: Brad- his 17 year old son and Tay- his 14 year old daughter. Jon also could never remember the name of the city they were in. His kids teased him about it by giving him false names. On their way to the hotel, Tay had spotted a mall and she said that she wanted some new clothes. Jon volunteered to take his daughter in hopes that he would learn what city they were in. Brad had said that he wanted to buy a new video game, so he tagged along as well.
The family had arrived at the mall. Jon told his kids to meet with him at the food court in 2 hours. While Tay went to the American Eagle and Brad to the EB games, Jon went to the hardware store. He looked at drills, saws, wrenches, everything. Jon then heard sounds of people moving stuff, he also heard loud screams. Jon walked out of the hardware store and looked over the balcony. He saw people barricading the doors from people getting in. He had heard about riots in Colorado on his way up here and he just figured that mall security would come any minute now and handle the situation. Jon then got a closer look at one of the rioters. His flesh was peeling and revealed pink under-skin, he then looked at the other's and found that they were all like this. "What in god's-" he was cut off when suddenly the men busted through the barriers, flooding into the mall. The civilians standing at the doorway scattered, many being clawed at and even eaten. Jon vomited at the gruesome sight. He then looked up and noticed that the things were coming up the stairs. "Oh, Crap" Jon said to himself. He dashed for the hardware store entrance. He looked for something that could be used as a weapon. He looked and found a shovel sitting at one of the cashier stations, he quickly grabbed it but felt a hand grab him as he tried to leave. "Excuse me sir," the voice said. Jon turned around to see a kid in his early 20's with a name tag that said "Hi my name is Ricky". Jon shouted at the man "I need this! Just look behind you!" Ricky then did as Jon said, to see a man being eaten alive by on of the creatures. "Jesus! What is that thing!" Ricky screamed. "I don't know, but whatever it is, there's about a million more of 'em and they're headed into this store!" Replied Jon. Ricky quickly jumped over his desk and grabbed a nearby nail gun. "Look, if you can help me find my girlfriend, I can show you a secret way out!" Ricky proposed. Jon replied "I can't! I have to find my two kids!" "What stores were they in!" "American Eagle and EB games!" "That's perfect! My girlfriend works at American Eagle which is just a few stores down from EB games!" Ricky exclaimed. Jon held out his hand "The name's Jon" he said as Ricky shook it "Ricky" the young man replied.
