Biography
Patrick O'Duffy is tall, Australian and a professional editor, although not always in that order. He has written role-playing games, short fiction, a little journalism and freelance non-fiction, and is currently working on a novel, although frankly not working hard enough. He loves off-kilter fiction, Batman comics and his wife, and finds this whole writing-about-yourself-in-the-third-person thing difficult to take seriously.

- I also have a bunch of new followers! Hi guys! I mostly tweet about Batman and blogging, so I'll understand when you all unfollow later on.
- The day after Eurovision is always a difficult come-down. I have a cheese pie hangover and a strained larynx from trying to sing like Cezar.
- Oh well. A great production, even if the wrong country won. Next year in Elsinore! #sbseurovision
- I WILL NEVER FORGET YOU, SPARKLE VAMPIRE FREDDY MERCURY LORD OF MONGO #sbseurovision
- This announcing-the-winner-early thing is awful. It's sucked all the energy out of the room. #sbseurovision

Social media undertaker Kendall Barber has discovered something about his new subject - an email set up to be sent after his death.

This short story is a mini-sequel to the crime novella 'The Obituarist', but it can also be read as a stand-alone story.
