    Daisy

    David has spent most of his life on the same piece of land, caring for the same house, the same animals, and the woman he has loved for more than fifty years. Now Annie is dying. As her memory fades, strange things begin happening around the farm. The clock ticks too fast. Something knocks from inside the walls. And at night, David starts to wonder whether the woman lying beside him is still entirely his wife. Written and narrated by Michael G.
