I’m not too sure if many other writers/authors have had part time jobs at Wal-Mart like I have. It could be my love for the post-apocalyptic video game series, Fallout, but I think Wal-Mart would make a great tale for such an event.
I do believe anyone with imagination or a love for horror would have thought that Wal-Mart would be a great place to hold up in an apocalypse. Or at least a place to get supplies.
I’ve worked at two Wal-Marts in the span of almost 8 months. My imagination became like a wildfire when I began to explore backrooms and stock different departments. It’s amazing how little people know Wal-Mart has until you stock it yourself.
Just recently, I began to think of a series based on this idea. Now, I probably would never get to it, due to expanding the universe of Elementalists, such as Ace Venx in Shattered Soul: Elements of Lightning.
One of my biggest questions is, if we all think about using the store in an apocalypse, would we read about it?
