Convenient Fairytales

Quite often things don’t go the way one wants them to. The local seer has sighted the moon at the wrong time bringing about the festival of the moon far too early, the little king had a burst of inspiration at the worst hour resulting in the loss of a head of a trusty general, or simply those accursed militants showing up at one’s doorstep a highly flammable present in hand. And when all things run afoul, who are the people to blame? The fairies, of course! Devilish tricksters and enchanters, living amongst us since times of old, hiding away yet always there. Whoever can resist their evil wiles? No one at all! So obviously we’re not to blame for our actions! It’s always the others.
