Where Night Falls (S)

Pic Whitman is an eight year old boy with Native American features. It is a rainy and dark night, Pic is alone in the house with his mother and with the lady he has just discovered is his grandmother: a very old lady motionless in an armchair. It seems to Pic that the name “sofa cover” suits her more than “Granny”. But Pic's grandfather is also in the house, too bad he is resting inside a cinerary urn next to his photo which shows him in all his Native American beauty. “He was a real grandfather, not as the ‘sofa cover’ there." Think Pic out loud. Suddenly the mother has to go out and Pic finds himself alone with this grandmother and his fear of the dark. A lightning cuts the power and at the same instant the grandmother awakens from ‘hibernation’.
