Goodreads asked Susan Rivers:

Can you tell us a two-sentence horror story?

Susan Rivers In a small southern town live two spinster sisters who have outlived the other members of their family and have spent long years together tending a large, beautiful garden that is the pride of the neighborhood. The eldest sister becomes ill and passes away, and the day after her funeral, her surviving sister hires a man with a bulldozer to come dig up the garden -- every last camellia shrub, climbing rose, dogwood and daylily -- and dump them in the ditch that runs beside the property.
