On Borrowed Time

Gramps is idolized by Pud, his orphaned grandson, who models his speech and actions after the salty old man. Granny does not approve, so she invites straight-laced Aunt Demetria to correct this problem. Dear Auntie, eyeing the boys inheritance, agrees to help. Death, in the person of Mr. Brink has come for Gramps, but is forcibly sent about his business. Brink later returns and takes Granny. Gramps escapes Brink a second time by sending him up an apple tree where he is held captive by some strange power. What must the neighbor's think when Gramps talks to the apple tree, since Brink is invisible to the world? People are not dying and life's normal cycle is broken. Everyone is living On Borrowed Time...
