Barry Fludgate
1946-2014
Submitted by DJ Burnham on Saturday 8th November 2014
(It was written in December 2006 in Brighton. It first appeared in Test Drive – Volume 1 of the collected short stories of DJ Burnham – in September 2007.)
One day, about eight years ago, there was a news story on the radio about a convicted murderer who posted himself out of a United States Penitentiary in Pollock, Louisiana. I had the rough plot for a Christmas-themed story knocking about and that set the ball rolling.
The original artwork shows one of the multicoloured glass bottles and grapes from the Harvest Day celebrations.
