The Long Walk by Richard Bachman
In a dystopian future, one hundred teenage boys embark on a grueling annual event known as "The Long Walk," where they must maintain a minimum speed of four miles per hour without stopping. The competition, overseen by the authoritarian government, continues until only one participant remains, with the winner receiving a lifetime of comfort and wealth. As the walk progresses, the boys face physical exhaustion, psychological torment, and the haunting realization of their mortality, forming alliances and rivalries while grappling with the relentless pressure to survive at any cost.
