Kaboom

Written by Anakin McFly

Something was wrong. Something was very wrong. Tara could feel it; a chill crept up her spine as she scanned her surroundings for some clue as to why she felt that way. But the forests of Alderaan were still.

Something was coming. Something bad, something very bad. For a fleeting moment, Tara thought she sensed an evil presence approaching, getting closer by the second…

Her younger brother Dack could feel it too. Drawing closer to his sister, the boy cast a terrified look at the sky and whimpered in fear.

Meanwhile, up above in the Death Star, Grand Moff Tarkin turned to Admiral Motti. “You may fire when ready.”

For an instant, Tara and Dack saw a brilliant beam of red light up the sky. The moment passed. And they were no more… mere bits of dust in the vastness of space as Alderaan, their planet, their home, blew up.

Kaboom.
