Welcome to Gaia! ::

Another one of my short, undetailed stories, this one about a trip to Wal-Mart. but this story isn't true -

So I am wandering around Wal-Mart trying to find the duct tape. It seems the location of the duct tape changes every time I visit. After searching every aisle in the hardware department I finally give up and decide to ask an employee.

As I approached the employee and ask him where I can find the duct tape, he turns and runs. I grab a nearby heavy object and chase him down. He runs into the home decor section and begins to knock boxes off the shelves to slow me down, but I manage to leap over them with little trouble. Seeing that I am still on his tail he grabs a lamp and throws it at me. I just barely manage to dodge and return fire with the heavy object that I picked up in the hard ware section. My throw makes contact with his skull and he falls to the ground. Seeing that he is lying helpless on the ground, I slowly approach.

I got too close. I should have known better. He kicked my knees, and I yelped in pain and fell to the ground. he reached up and tried to drop another lamp on my head but I narrowly avoided the blow. I grabbed a shard of the lamp and drove it into his thigh. He was now at my mercy. I rolled him over into his back, my foot upon his chest, and glass shard to his throat. "Where is the duct tape?" A crowd of Wal-Mart employees and customers had gathered around. No one dared help the man. Without hestiation he shouted "I WILL NEVER GIVE AWAY THE LOCATION OF THE DUCT TAPE! NEVER!" So I slit his throat with the glass.

No one made a sound. The customers all shook their heads and walked away. As for the Wal-Mart employees...a sense of pride could be detected on their faces. I had just created for them a hero, a martyr whom they could all strive to be. More than ever, were they determined to be of little use to anyone.

I hate Wal-Mart. 

Interesting... whee

Haha, thank you so much for your comments yal! Yours especially cracked me up, Pyro blaugh

Now, if I could just apply the same talent to more extended stories xp

The irony of me reading this story today is that we just had a new Walmart open in town. Today. I'm tempted now to go in search of duct tape and other such mundane things to use them in my plot to over throw my university... ninja

It's a great satire piece, but I will say that you rushed the action a bit too much (something I'm guilty of myself). Action's a bugger to write, but if you let it flow on it's own, it usually helps. 3nodding

Damn Walmart employees...

haha, i couldn't stop laughing! i feel exactly like that whenever i go to wal-mart and ask for help. well, i don't have to usually chase people down, but it's hard to get information out of them none the less.

smile biggrin blaugh whee That was better than the leprechauns.

ninja And it is true they do run when you need them. . . . . or is that just me?

Wow, that's really funny. And very true! I like that part about all the employees thinking he's a hero. But one question: Did you ever get that duct tape? wink

*Gasp!* It's not a true story? Wow, I wouldn't have guessed. xd

Anyways, that was awesome. A little on the violent side, but sometimes those Duct Tape hogs deserve it.
