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."

1. A boy leans over a second story railing. He is taking a long look at a bird sitting in a nearby tree. The bird is ready to fly away. On the lawn that spreads away from the building, a girl lies on her stomach. She is reading a mathematics text book. A boy, wearing a green helmet, unchains his beautiful blue bike. A cat is slowly making its way towards the girl. But none of them sees the girl with her face in her hands, shaking with sadness.

2. There is a very tall man with a bolo tie and a cowboy hat. His height is restrained by a hunched back, broken with age. His white hair curls around his ears. A handlebar mustache points perfectly to his engraved boots. His eyes are very dry and the skin around them wrinkles deeply into his face. A certain loneliness surrounds him. He has no wedding band, but the skin of his finger indicates that he once wore a ring there. He stands at the corner, a strong figure with a hurting soul.

3. Two trees stand parrallel and fully in bloom. They are a brilliant pink among the brown and gray surroundings. The petals fall slowly in the space between, creating a carpet on the grass. The sky behind them is gray and lightning strikes. The trees are unmoved by nature's attack.
