LONG SHOT OF THE OLD
LADY FROM THE POV OF
THE SUNFLOWER
(In this scene everything is seen as the flowers would see
the world, the OLD LADY looks demonic, deadly and much like
an executioner. The garden seems more like a concentration
camp for flowers that are going to be slaughtered. The sky
is red and the grass and flowers around are broken, beat,
scarred and disfigured)

Each of the pictures are horrifying and look like they are
takn straight from a crime scene. In each of these pictures
the OLD LADY has a massive sadistic grin and piercing eyes.
Somewhat like a caricature.
