QUESO CLOSED: A 100-WORD SPACE OPERA

The rough hands of a dozen troops dragged the shackled Knight before his grotesque captor.

Jinn pondered his situation ruefully. He had escaped from a horde of Imperial Stormtroopers only to stumble into the clutches of the infamous Jabba, the crime syndicate’s Big Cheese.

He even looked like a cheese, an overripe Brie that had sat outdoors on a hot day. Feh.

But Jabba the Huttvarti was a businessman above all else. And now, Jinn was competition.

As they hauled him toward the Matter Convertor, Queso-Gon Jinn, Swiss Knight, felt an extra-sharp pang of regret at having left the Cheddi.
