[Genteel Death]

eventually the remaining starving proles won't be able to afford ANYTHING from the single wal mart that is the only store in every town. the milita will spend their days robbing the proles and torturing them on video to broadcast on the internet. the very same internet that the 1 sole corporation that rules the entire nation has handed over control of to the militas. they will use it to track down the IP's of anyone who has ever said anything remotely 'unamerican'.

eventually, when the oil runs dead and the private security firm that has taken over everything has stolen and taken over every alternative energy source and farm in the nation - the militas will start to kick off since there's little left for them to rob. finally, there will be ZERO jobs left.

for a while the wal mart will shut down and the majority of the nation will starve to death.

however, eventually the right wing militas will return after making a deal with the spokespeople for the gated off elites who live behind impenetrable fortress walls with gun turrets and ex blackwater soldiers manning them.

the leaders of the militas will announce a glorious new dawn, finally, it's morning in america again. finally the communist islamist liberal terrorist menace has been vanquished. the period of starvation and confusion will come to an end and the wal marts will reopen. now firmly in control of the militias.

that morning, as the now 100% machine operated staffless wal marts reopen, the militiamen and few surviving starving proles will walk in. each person queues up in an orderly fashion for their turn to recieve free money, dispensed from a vending machine. each recieves a bundle of $100 notes with their faces printed on them. they'll walk into the store and salivate at the bounty, each shelf stocked to the brim with junk food and cheap tat! they'll buy as much as they can carry and run home to gorge themselves.

a few days later, a solar powered helicopter will land on the roof of the wall mart. out will step a group of chinese business men and their armed guards. they'll survey the scene but find everyone dead. the products from wall mart having been laced with poison. no, not smallpox, a far deadlier and quicker toxin. the guards will swoop each sector with their guns, ready to shoot any remaining proles or militia men who might not have died yet.

after thoroughly inspecting their new investment, the chinese businessmen will shake hands with their american host. the translator will inform him that they'll buy the land for well above the asking price. they'll incinerate then bulldoze entire states and turn the land into automated corn farms. a solitary bald eagle will watch this from the heavens, a single tear falling from its eye like a drop of holy rain. then a single short screech as the bird is swiftly decapitated by the blade of the exiting chinese helicopter.

fin.

Really??? That's frightening.
