Tales from the Bucket

"She's buried under that tree."

Grace is spending her monthly weekend with her 90-year-old grandfather in his mobile home, high in the mountains and two hours from the nearest town. He keeps muttering about a girl with white hair and green skin buried under the lone pine on his lawn. Her brother Stu warns her not to let him talk about it. Then, at one in the morning, Grace is woken by the clang of a pickaxe.
