Preview of "Nuremberg Tour"

The blog will appear inactive for several months, as I am working on a more involved story.
In Canada of the future, the narrator is isolated from mainstream society; not by racism, but by the perception she prefers to socialize within her sub-culture.
Within the mainstream of this sub-culture, she is perceived as deficient, relegated to the sub-sub-culture.
Life is mostly uneventful until atrocious luck strikes. A star-crossed romance appears to lead to the death of her fiance, a famous author-professor.
The police soon establish she has no legal culpability.
The sub-culture and sub-sub-culture, while not questioning her legal responsibilty, raise her moral responsiblity. The level of press vilification assumes demonization.
Utterly wiped by all this nonsense, she is hardly in the mood for what follows, a draft notice on a lottery basis.
She's assigned to an Afghan NCO, commences a German tour of duty, east of Nuremberg, near the Czech border.
