We get together to write stories

Look at that kid. Kyle's his name? Heh. Fitting. He's just one tiny speck that'll probably just end up contributing to some embarrassing statistic later on in his life. If you took the roof off of this Wal-Mart, the one his mom took him to, and looked at it from above, you'd see how tiny of a speck he really is. And there are tons of Wal-Marts out there, each with it's own obnoxious little shit, just as inconsequential as he is.

It's a cool breeze at the race track. It's the morning. Before the big race, I rev my car and take off down the track. I'm blowing dust and exhaust on everyone as I pass by the side lines. Eat my dust! I'm free, racing down the track, tearing into the track! They're screaming my name!

Seconds earlier...

Hi Mel, how's Sophie doing? I was just wondering what brand of body wash my husband's using. No, I don't expect you to.. Don't touch that. Don't touch that! But can you please go in the bathroom and look? See, I know he uses the Old Spice but there are like six bazzillion different kinds.. No, you can't have that. No, that's for girls. Glacial Falls? I don't see that here, what does it look like? Is that the natural one? I really think he should.. I know, he doesn't think there's anything too it, but I really think.. Kyle, stop! Look, I'm sorry, he's.. Kyle, where are you going? K, No, not.. KYLE STUART WILLIAMS!

Look, down the isle, on the other side of the store, in the clothing section, that one small, insignificant speck just disappeared under a rack of Levi's Jeans. She'll never find him.

She doesn't care about me. She won't come. I'm going to sit here for the rest of my life. No one will find me here. No one will ever care about me. When everyone leaves for the night, I'll sneak out and steal chicken strips from the deli. Every night I'll get three chicken strips. If I take too many, someone will notice. If I don't take enough, I'll starve. I probably should eat something else, too. You can't eat one thing for your whole life. I think peanut butter will work. Three chicken strips a day, and a spoon of peanut butter. I'll be fine. I don't need her any more. Think! I wonder what it's like at night, if there are ghosts walking the isles, pushing the carts around all night. I'll be like a ghost. The other ghosts will let me help them shop, and take care of me. Unlike her.

Ma'am, we know he hasn't left the store. We'd know if he left, because the entrances and exits are all under video surveillance. Ma'am, we've already checked the recordings twice, he walks in with you, and never leaves. Ma'am, we're doing all we can. Ma'am, you have to calm down. Ma'am, I know you've already been everywhere, but you're the one he will listen to, if he's hiding, you.. I know, Ma'am, but this happens a lot here, and we've never had a lost child that was not recovered.

Hey, lady, I know where your kid is. See that Levi's rack at the end of the aisle? He's hiding in there. I don't know what you did to him, but i've been watching that rack since he went in, and it quivered a bit after you went by there, but he hasn't budged. Just so you know.

I guess that's when she jumped me, cause it's the last thing I remember before I woke up with stitches from the brick she must have been carrying in her purse. Apparently that kid wasn't so worthless after all.
