    He wandered through the deserted hallways, each store now a vacant shell. The broken glass and faded signs gave it a post-apocalyptic feel. Andrew was in his element, capturing every detail.

    GRM was another mall explorer, but their methods differed greatly. While Andrew was respectful, GRM was more invasive, often causing damage in his pursuit of content.
