Blackfish City

by Sam J. Miller

When the worst thing that can possibly happen to you finally happens, you find that you are not afraid of anything.

We want villains. We look for them everywhere. People to pin our misfortune on, whose sins and flaws are responsible for all the suffering we see. We want a world where the real monstrosity lies in wicked individuals, instead of being a fundamental facet of human society, of the human heart.
