Full, the enormous bag is so difficult to steer that it pulls the walker slightly sideways as it swings forward with each step. It’s no Samsonite: 56 inches but made of cardboard, staples and glue, guaranteed for a mere six weeks, it’s a valise for people who need to get out of town in a hurry and need a case big enough, yet light enough, to carry all their belongings. At a dingy shop in downtown Fluxion City, you can buy, for only $29.95, the suitcase of a desperate man. ![]()
