Every so often a new resident will arrive. Their fur feels a little softer then the veteran’s. They have hope in their eyes that they may have a chance in hell of sleeping in a bed. But, alas, each trip to the doorstep is met with a loud “shoo” noise and a foot stamp from the resident humans. They crave to be rubbed by five-fingered hands, but it is few and far between. The competition is fierce, standing down no less than 15 others struggling for the attention of someone to“own” them. But, they never do. It isn’t much of a surprise when one of them decides to turn to the dark side.

As the dark side takes over, it becomes clear his fate is to one day know the ways of Darth Vader…all three of them; Young Darth Vader, Middle Aged Darth Vader, and Old Darth Vader, distinguished only by the size of their
mid-section and the appearance of gray hair.
