You hear it all the time: "It Ain't Fair!"
It's a game we all play, fire to steel... honing us into.... --what?
You decide.

This piece can be viewed in its entirety at the new online magazine,  SPECULATIVE FICTION CENTRE (SCF),
created by Robert A. Montesino and Lee Garrett. 

This ezine is a treat for readers with a zest for unknown possibilities.... 


For now, here's an excerpt--


So many of us think life ought to be fair. It is the cry of the oppressed masses-- us! It is the wail of we who feel powerless against mighty forces pulling us this way and that. It usually takes years of living to understand that life does not necessarily treat us fair, not that there is obligation ... but still it gets used as an excuse, for how long is entirely up to the individual. Some catch on early, others take the long road. The Blame Game is part of the universe, and must be played.

"It's not fair," she thought, "It's just not fair!"

This time Katie did not know who to blame. But for the first time she didn't mind at all.
