Program #5

An elderly woman relaxes on her quaint cottage veranda, enjoying the juicy fruit from her orchard and a scone, but there are hints that all is not as it seems. Armed with her secateurs, she takes pleasure in pruning the lush spring growth in her orchard. A horrific reality sets in and her harvest is still juicy but prophetic and terrifyingly unexpected.
