The World's Most Disgusting Wal Mart

It's one in the morning, which means...

The mutants, deformed social rejects and antisocial psychotics have emerged from whatever holes in which they normally wait out the day, including people who look like they've stepped out of a casting call for a "Deliverance" remake.

Sara visits the bathroom upon entering the store, only to find that someone has torn down two of the stalls and apparently smashed the toilets within with a hammer. The next intact toilet is covered with bloody handprints, the last of which looks as if someone was somehow clawing at the edges of the toilet bowl from within. The remainder of the toilets are smeared with human excrement and toilet paper, which is mounded in great shredded piles around the room, as are the sinks, walls and faucets. A man in a tattered suit who smells like moldy beef stew and cat urine is sitting slumped in a corner, snoring loudly.

"Uh..I don't have to go that badly," she says to herself, backing out of the room.

Outside the bathroom, she corrals a store attendant. "Uh, sir? I don't know if you've been in the restroom lately, but..."

He stares at her blankly for several moments. "Mommy?" he says, his eyes empty. He steps forward, his arms open for a hug. She notices the scars on his forehead for the first time.

She stops and backs away. Okay, that was a dry hole, she thinks. Presently he wanders away, staring off into space. Fine. Let them worry about that bathroom--there's probably a better one in the back of the store anyway. She barely avoids being hit by a cart being pushed by someone who looks like the uglier brother of the drummer for Midnight Oil and trips over a little kid...

"Hey! Watch where you're goin' bitch!" the kid snarls, and she realizes that the "kid" is actually an achondroplastic dwarf. She stammers out an spology to the dwarf, who's already gone, and stumbles to her feet, brushing off the garbage and sticky gook she's accumulated from the disgusting floor. "Jasper, where the hell are you?" she yells.

"Over here!" she hears. He's standing in front of a vending machine with flickering lights, kicking it repeatedly. The front is scuffed with the marks left by other people who have punched, kicked and head-butted it. "I tried to grab a Pepsi and the damned thing stole my money!" he snaps. He kicks it again. With a grinding noise, the machine spits out a can of motor oil before going dark. He picks it up and stares at it in disbelief.

All in all, it's a perfectly normal Wal Mart.

1. They explore the store. What other amazing scenes of breakdown dysfunction do they see?
2. They get lost! The store gets weirder!
3. They visit electronics in search of a laptop. This ought to be good.
4. The dwarf comes screaming towards them with a stilleto.
5. They decide to visit the McDonalds on the other end of the Wal Mart.
6. They pay the guy in the suit in the bathroom to drink the motor oil.
