Dead Heart Bloom - "Flash In A Bottle". The idea was this: take a photograph of a fish, swimming; and use a flash; and the flash could scare the fish right out of the water, bucking through the air to the shore. This was the idea. It was first devised by Charlie "Marks" Markie, of Hazeldean, ME. It was first written down by his nephew, Louis Pontoon, who settled in Thunder Bay, ON. It appears in his book, Fishing Notions. Very few people bought Fishing Notions. One of these was Charlene Markie (no relation), of Toronto. The volume was inherited by her son, Purcell Holmes, and by his son, Invictus Daughter. Invictus was an opium addict; sold his leather-bound version of Fishing Notions to a Montreal book-seller. 20 years later, this was purchased by Jacques Thibodeau, the infamous "Dog-Catcher of Lachine". Thibodeau left it on a bench, where it was found by Marco Penni, a tourist visiting from Barbarossa, Italy. Penni brought it home. His daughter read it front to back. His daughter went to the lake at Esteval, Tuscany, near where she lived. She brought her Leica. She spent the rest of her life taking photographs, flashbulb popping, waiting for the miracle. I will leave the rest to your imagination. [buy In Chains]
