The Vader Vingettes!

by Mutant Goldfish

Vader went to the Dark Side, and now he is paying for his mistakes. Believe me. A series of 500 word vingettes where poor Darth is tormented in ways you wouldn't have thought possible. R&R!

Darth Vader Does Not Trust the Magic 8 Ball

"Will I ever rule the Empire?" Vader asked, shaking the small plastic fortuneteller.

Ask again later.

Vader waited five seconds. "Okay, it's later. Will I ever rule the Empire?"

Concentrate and ask again.

Vader gritted his teeth. "Will I ever rule the Empire, gosh-darn!"

Reply hazy, try again.

"Will I ever rule the Empire?" Vader said, more angry than inquisitive.

Cannot predict now.

"What's wrong with you? It's a simple question! WILL I EVER RULE THE EMPIRE?" he boomed, shaking the 8 ball so hard the liquid sloshed for several minutes before answering.

Better not to tell you now.

"Oh, great. Now I've offended it. It will never tell me now!" He shook it halfheartedly in one last campaign. "Will I ever rule the Empire?"

Don't count on it.

"Stupid Magic 8 Ball!" Vader yelled, throwing it in the trash.
