The Fix

My latest at the Partial Observer. Excerpt:

After the race, I heard the word "fix." As the race was replayed, one man pointed to a couple of spots where the jockey supposedly slowed his horse a bit. I asked these companions if they agreed that there was a fix. Everyone nodded their heads.

Two thoughts entered my mind. The first was, what if they were right and the race was indeed fixed? The second was, these people probably don't vote.
