My wild Saturday night at Wal-Mart

“Where we goin’?” Tanner asks as we drive into town. It’s already dark outside and the skate park is closed, so that’s out. “Wal-Mart,” Matt says calmly, his eyes focused intently on the road, his palms never budging from the 10 and two position. “WAL-MART!?” Tanner asks. “Uh, DUH!” Max says sarcastically. “It is the cheap-plastic-crap capital of the world! And plus they have like those two-gallon bottles of pop for a dollar.” -- By Zach Brokenrope
