The premise

Here’s the bit.

Martin settles into the tribe’s strange daily routines inside a garden centre. Utapu shows him a growing display of household goods that threatens their way of life and decides a sacrifice is needed. After a feverish ordeal, Martin wakes in bed with two visitors offering a mundane explanation. He has a startling souvenir that makes their reassurance less convincing.

Say it with us

Highly quotable.

Every year, more and more space devoted to non-garden products.
