We never know what is going to come out of Stephen King’s mind, and The Long Walk is another example of that.
In a dystopian United States ruled by a totalitarian regime, a group of young men enter an annual walking contest in which they must maintain a speed of at least three miles per hour or risk execution. The contest ends when only one walker remains alive.
RULES OF THE WALK:
Total participants: 50
Required pace to maintain: 3 MPH
If participants fall below the required pace, they will get a warning. If they are unable to reach the speed within 10 seconds, they will get an additional warning.
Total warnings: 3
Note: Participants are eliminated before a 4th warning is called.
How far could you go? How far will they go? That we will find out on September 12th.
