The Shortest Story on the Website

2002 very, very short story by Jonathan Hicks

Under a year before Episode IV – A New Hope

 

Jutt Menro loved the Core Worlds. He constantly travelled the planets of the inner systems to broaden his mind and take in new cultures.

Alderaan was one such planet, a wonderful world of culture and peace. No weapons, no violence, no prejudice. I’ll retire here, I think, he thought.

One morning, he looked out of his hotel window and gazed at the bright clear sky, were he saw a strange, green flash way off in the void.

That’s bright, he thought.

Histories – Telling the sad story of Jutt Menro, perhaps the unluckiest character in the entire Star Wars mythos.  But not as unlucky as the guy who booked 250,000 of his best construction workers to work on the Death Star.
