When a Wal-Mart the size of Texas rolls into a sleepy Appalachian town, Coop Elmore loses everything-his job, his land, and even his wife (who runs off with the regional manager).

Stranded in the store's endless parking lot, Coop teeters between despair and delirium until inspiration strikes: if Wal-Mart is the heart of modern America, then he's going to be its cardiac arrest.

Taking a job inside the fluorescent belly of the beast, Coop plots to bring the Big W down from within. Coop soon finds that taking on Wal-Mart might be the funniest, strangest, and most hopeless war ever fought.

A biting satire of consumer culture, small-town survival, and the absurdity of the American dream, The Big W is a comic masterpiece for anyone who has ever been lost in the aisles.All Rights Reserved

Death Bound: Life Support Edition by AuthorARCurry

Life is full of ups and downs, there's no question about it. We're tossed through the ringer daily, constantly faced with challenges and left wondering how we'll deal with them. Will we give up, or will we try? Will we cave, or will we push through until we succeed? Will we whine and moan about our misfortunes as we dwell on them for years, or will we learn from them, shrug them off, and heal ourselves with laughter? I choose the latter, which is why I've collected these darkly, comedic short stories into this collection for your amusement. The world's a bit tense, so unwind and relax. I'll take it from here. NOTE: Death Bound: Life Support Edition can be purchased on Amazon or my website - ARCurry.com

Falling for the Last Person I'd Ever Love... And Yet by hazelbrown18

What if a cat and a dog tolerate each other? Not in peace--obviously--but in wildly dysfunctional harmony. That's Seraphina and Kai-she strikes first with chaos and claws, he retaliates with passive-aggressive sarcasm and emotional warfare. It's not a romance. It's a tactical battlefield with feelings. For as long as they can remember, Seraphina Voss and Kai Sterling have been locked in elite-level rivalry. Not the flirty kind. No---this is cold-war chaos between two rich kids raised like family (ew), trapped in the same social circles (double ew), and trained in the fine art of mutual sabotage. But when one dramatic arrest pushes their families over the edge, they're given the worst punishment imaginable: working together. In the same office. With real jobs. Corporate hell---but make it personal. To make matters worse, they've both caught feelings for other people. Desperate to escape each other and this soul-sucking job, they strike a deal: Seraphina helps Kai win his "perfect" girl. Kai plays wingman for Seraphina's dream guy. Clean. Simple. Foolproof. Until it all starts falling apart, thanks to office warfare, many "accidental" double dates, and emotionally violent wars in silence. Because somewhere between strategic humiliation and whatever emotionally compromising event just went down, they might be falling for the one person they hate the most. And it's not about who falls first. It's how they fall. ⚠️ Contains verbal combat, morally questionable pranks, dangerously slow-burning tension, and at least one chair thrown in the name of love. © Hazel Brown. All rights reserved.

DAVID AND THE BEANSTALK by NickClash10

In the year 2018, a poor boy known as David and his equally as poor, single mom are constantly starving and have very little to no money. But after David meets a strange man one day, who trades him something that he says can help him and his mother out, David has no idea what he has gotten himself into. Soon, David finds himself in a strange land and it's there that he really gets himself into trouble! Big trouble! Really big trouble! And David must discover who he really is and become the heroic, adventurous and brave hero that he's dreamt of being in his dreams for so long to save the day! This story is my own modern day version and retelling of the classic Jack And The Beanstalk story by The Brothers Grimm. This fanfic is its own story and is not cannon or connected to my TOONEY Trilogy or any of my other fanfics. This story also has mature content, profanity, drama, action, comedy, suspense, violence, adventure and death.

A sequel to my other corona piece so read that first. A new variant of the virus has hit the U.S and schools have closed down for the winter. Once again Cardinal is hanging out at the West Furniture Store but something is amiss... Join Jack, Parker, and Cardinal as they figure out what's been happening and how to get Cardinal's friends back in this OVER 10K WORD sequel. Rankings (if that matters): #28 in covid-19 #41 in humorous #28 in coronavirus #54 in pandemic #4 in howdotagswork (sorta figured out how but not really) I literally made this because I was bored and thought why not.
