Robert C. Mason

Robert has always had an active imagination, which he usually expressed in drawings and doodles, but it wasn't until 2007 that he actually started putting pen to paper (letters to laptop really). Robert started out writing short stories with little life messages in them. He finished his first full length novel, The Bully Affect, in 2008, the focus of which was also a life lesson. Bullying. A writing contest was the inspiration for his novella, The Tombstone Stranger. Written in less then two weeks and told from the prespective of a young boy growing up in the wild west the narration proved quite challenging. "To talk with a drawl or accent is one thing, but to write that way was a lot harder then I thought it would be, but I think that is part of the charm of the story," Robert says. His next novel, Zoey Zimmerman and the Zombie Pigeon, was nearly two years in the making. This tale of a young girl that can talk to animals also has a fundamental life lesson at the heart, friendship. "I really enjoy writing stories for young readers. If you can keep their interest with a good story and sneak in some important messages all the better." Robert resides in Phoenix, Arizona with his wife Jennifer and daughter Emma.

Chapter I

Masro Fhin extinguished his lightsaber as he crouched patiently behind the downed frame of the battle droid as three more droids slowly plodded towards him. The smoke coming from the downed droid completely shielded Masro from the other oncoming droids.

Even with his weak Alconian hearing Masro could hear the droids communicating with each other as they each relayed visual information from their different vantage points. This coupled with the fact that he could see the infrared heat signatures of each of the battle droids allowed him to estimate the droids plan of attack and formulate his defense and counter attack.

The first droid stopped several meters to Masro’s immediate right and was holding fast. The second droid was directly in front of him, but slightly further away and slowly closing in. The third droid to his left was also maintaining its position several meters away as the center droid moved in towards the Jedi Knight.

Recognizing that the two droids on either side of him were holding flanking positions on him Masro concentrated his counterstrike on the approaching center droid. He knew that once he moved from his current position it would take the flanking droids several moments before they could track his new position and direct their fire at him. A few moments would really be all he needed to deal with the advancing droid anyway.

Using his strong toe claws to dig into the ground for leverage he pressed his tail on the ground for additional balance as he waited for the droid to get within two meters before he made his move. Just as he was about to pounce Masro felt a ripple in the Force. He thumbed the switch on his lightsaber and ignited the green blade just in time to deflect the blaster fire coming from the droid to his left.

Masro moved quickly, as the center droid increased its’ speed towards him, and leapt over the oncoming droid slicing the droid down the middle as he tucked and flipped over the droid. Upon hitting the ground he turned and jumped at the droid that had fired at him from the left.

Two quick jumps and the Jedi Knight was on the startled battle droid before it had a chance to focus the blaster atop its right hand at him. One quick swipe of his lightsaber and the droids right arm dropped from its body. Reaching out to the force Masro redirected the falling limb towards the third battle droid.

As the flying arm struck the third battle droid mid-torso, knocking it off balance, Masro felt the grip of the now single armed battle droid on his left shoulder as it tried lifting his meter and a half tall frame off the ground by his Jedi tunic.

Before the droid could lift him off the ground Masro raised his lightsaber above his head and sank the blade into the droids face. The tug on his tunic eased but the now deactivated droid did not loosen its grip on him. The last remaining battle droid had regained its balance and was now moving in for the kill as Masro tried to free himself of the droids grasp.

Realizing that the last droid was taking aim at him Masro threw his lightsaber at the approaching droid, its blade embedding itself in the droids chest ending the threat.

He breathed a sigh of relief as he reached out with the Force and beckoned his lightsaber back to his hand. The slight tug on the droid as the lightsaber was pulled out of its
