Park Bench Thespians – A Short Story About Acting
Several years ago, I met a man on a park bench. We weren’t there the same time every day. When I met him first I was a struggling actor, and he was famous. Later I became famous, and he taught me how to handle it, all while feeding the pigeons. I knew him from my childhood, when he did a reoccurring role of Uncle Bill on a show called Kind Alley. I was going through a lot as a kid, and it helped me to watch him be nice to some kids that really didn’t deserve it. It helped me because that’s the way little Gene Coleman had felt. I…

The Jedi Conspiracy – A Star Wars Story – Episode 3 Alsarin’s Vortex
Building The Vortex “I did not tell Sidious everything, he thought I had, but he was wrong. Sidious craved knowledge, that was his downfall. I care only for the knowledge I need, discarding what I do not. He did not know what to keep, and what to discard.” “All of those years with him, and he never figured it out.

She was expecting almost any response from Plagueis, except him being happy about it.…

He was lost in thought, remembering her last encounter with the last apprentice of Plageius. “Commander Vultra, land this transport now. I want to speak with the Moffs before we return to the palace. I expect them to know my disappointment with their last reports. The ones that survive will do better the next time.” Sidious, or as he knew him, The Emperor, was a lot like Plagueis in some ways, totally unlike him in others. Ironically, that was…

The Jedi Conspiracy – A Star Wars Tale – Episode 1 Enter Plagueis
Long Ago In A Galaxy Far, Far Away… All are glad the Emperor is gone, and the Jedi won in the end, but many have questioned, how they could have been so deceived by the Sith. If they had known, wouldn’t things have been different, but every battle is not seen. Every victory is not known, for one Jedi will learn the truth, that they were not mistaken, the Jedi saw and tackled a greater evil, for they knew all long. Tartien They set in a quiet corner of Tartien, hoods in place to prevent anyone from staring. It had been a long time since it all started, but they…

Saturday Serials
PruittWrites is, for a limited time, reviving our Saturday Serials. These are stories that we run on Saturdays to bring a smile to our readers. The idea was sparked by the movie serials of yesteryear such as Batman and Superman. This week, we will be sharing the first episode of our new Star Wars tale, The Jedi Conspiracy. I always suspected Yoda knew more than he let on, and that Luke would never act the way he did in the last trilogy. This is my fan idea for a little fun to entertain my fellow sci fi readers. In the following weeks you may take a trip to Gotham City,…
