Short story:

The Peekskill Evening Star newspaper in New York State, USA, runs two unrelated stories on the front page. One is about a man being put to death in the electric chair, while the other is about a wealthy man who had died. By a curious coincidence, both men are named Hamilton Fish. In 2010, the two items will inspire Rachel Mason to create a song cycle, an art installation and a film series entitled The Deaths of Hamilton Fish.
