The Fall of Wal-Mart (LoA 2075+ Challenge)

Detective Cooper sifted through heaps of paperwork, mechanically throwing out one and keeping the other.

Estranada came over. “They still got you doing the grunt work, eh?”

Cooper grunted noncommittally.

“Hey, cheer up. I hear that store you hate…what is it – Wal-Mart, yes, it’s getting shut down.”

Cooper looked up. “Really?”

“Oh, yeah, somethin’ about forced labor and little pay and ‘forcing the human race into submission.’ I tell ya, it must’ve been somethin’ big. The CIA , the FBI , the LAPD , the LoA….”

“LoA?” Cooper said.

“Oh, yeah, the uh…that one lit’rary organization. They wrote the tings what revealed Wal-Mart for what it was in the first place, apparen’ly. The GrandMaster orchestrated the whole ting.”

“He’s still alive?”

“Oh, sure, around 2055, he got one o’ those age enhancements. He’s about 120 now or somethin’. Said he wanned to ‘continue his calling to lift people to literacy and educate them on the merits of psychology.’”

“What do those have to do with each other?”

“No idea.”

This is definitely not the most inventive entry, but I get my cookie for including Cooper. That’s all I really want.

Brilliant, love that Grans master is ageless, and can spread literacy and public awareness into infinity and beyond. Love the detective style you chose.
Long live the LoA

I thought this was cool. Kind of a nonchalant thing, realistically bringing it up in conversation some time in the future. And the “what do those two have to do with each other,” was very funny.
I’ll give you one of my cookies. How about this one for MrsFields.com? Note me your email and I’ll send it to you. =P

I loved “forcing the human race into submission” being one of the atrocities adding up to the LoA taking down Wal-Mart. Your creativity has no bounds.
