Stranger Than Wal-Mart

"Some 138 million Americans shop at Wal-Mart each week, making it perhaps the single most unifying cultural force in the country."

Plot|Stacie Morris

I want to write a story about a man who is driving down an old country road with a curious bag beside him in the passenger’s seat. He sees a female hitch hiker on the side of the road and picks her up. They have a conversation about there lives and get to know each other. The woman notices the bag and when the man stops at a gas station for a bathroom break she tries to peak inside of it but is interrupted when the man comes back. She starts to ask him questions about the bag and what is inside of it. The man is resistant and will not tell her what is inside. A cop car pulls behind the car that they are in and turns on his lights. The man becomes nervous and edgy as the cop pulls over the car. The cop follows standard procedure but obtaining the mans license and registration. After a few minutes the man becomes hysterical and pulls the woman out of the car holding her hostage with a gun. The woman gains control of the gun shoots the man and then to cop. She then drives off with the mans car and stops at a small outlet miles down the road. She opens the bag and finds the materials to make a bomb. Realizing that the bag is useless to her she feels that she has no choice but to run and hide. After a string of desperate attempts to hide from the authorities she is caught.
