Long walk and Rage are his two best stories period

Road work is good too. Running man is the best known but the worst of that group.

long walk?

a bunch of kids, like hundreds walk down us1 from maine. they have to keep a 4 mph pace or after 2 warnings soldiers shoot them dead. the winner, the last guy walking, gets a billion dollars. it follow mainly the point of view of one contestant.
