First World Survivors
Jun. 28th, 2011 05:13 pmSorry, I had to take a break from the extended piece to write this.
The Mall. Heart of the culture of an industrialized, western-style nation. This is a place rich in resources and biodiversity, rewarding in its sights and challenges. But the Mall can be an unforgiving place as well. Those unwise enough to enter its air-conditioned halls and its glassed-in elevators without being prepared can expect only the harshest of welcomes. Every year millions of Americans choose to experience the Mall. Some… choose to never return.
Two brave, skilled and hardy souls enter this exotic environment, with only minimal resources to help them survive. They must use their wits and rely upon each other to escape the Mall and achieve their objectives, without experiencing discomfort or annoyance. They are:
Tom McWhite works at IT support for a major multinational company. He is a specialist at obsolete technologies that nobody uses anymore. Tom still has a Prodigy.net email account, and he knows what all the error codes mean on his office copy machine.
Dina Cankles is a personal shopper and writes a pop culture blog. She is a master of social networking and interpersonal interactions, and while she has never served in the military, she once dated a guy in the Coast Guard and that was kind of cool.
Together, Tom and Dina will challenge the Mall. Together they will triumph over adversity, or they will avoid levels of adversity that become too obnoxious. Together they are:
FIRST WORLD SURVIVORS!
