A short mystery story by Lirker.

Along long time ago but somehow in the future there was a town called Healthy Valley.  It was just small enough to be a town and not a city (one square inch to be exact).  Healthy Valley was and still home to one of the greatest detectives ever, me, Corn Crunch.

I also have a sleuth that helps me.  Her name is Count Less Calories (or Cal for short).  It all started on April 22, 2010, when I got a hologram, at 11:58 PM telling me that I needed to come down to the Cereal Hall of Fame immediately

At 12:01 AM, I arrived at the scene of the crime to find my sleuth sitting by a gaping hole in the wall of the Hall of Fame.  When I walked up to her, she said, “I called you down here because as I was doing my rounds Count Cereal came running up to my car.  He said, ‘Someone has broken into the Cereal Hall of Fame.’

“Sure enough right behind him there was a gaping hole in the side of the Cereal Hall of Fame.  When I went to investigate a milk blow dart skinned my right ear.  When I went to see who had shot the milk dart, I caught my foot on some cereal-glass.  I looked up and saw that the secret recipes, the bowl of cereal, and all of the other artifacts were gone.  As I turned back to ask the owner some questions, he disappeared.”

I went to investigate the hole in the wall, but just as I did, the owner walked out and tripped.  As he fell, another milk dart came, shaved a clean line of hair off the top of his head, and splintered the one that was already in the wall.

“The thief must still be in the Hall of Fame,” I thought.

“I’ll go in,” Cal said

“Cal, who is the immortal one?  I’ll go,” I said

As I started in to the hole Count Cereal said in a shaky voice,” Be careful of the anti-theft system”

Just as I was entering the hole, a black thing flew past me and knocked me down.  Before I could even get up, it vanished into the night.  I got the wind knocked out of me when I was hit.  To make it worse, I stood up to fast so all the blood rushed out of my head and left me light-headed.  After all this excitement I suggested going home for a quick nap, and they both agreed with me.
