Just thought I would share this trilogy originally published on my blog. Enjoy! Once upon a time in a galaxy far, far away there was a planet called Utopia. The planet Utopia was lush with vegetation. The temperatures on Utopia were moderate and the ground was fertile, yielding beautiful and tasty fruits and berries for all the inhabitants to eat.
