      <image:title>Eulogy - Eulogy</image:title>
      <image:caption>In his eulogy from his church’s podium, a husband – still clearly delirious with grief – mourns the untimely loss of his wonderful wife – including the loss of their spectacular sex life. The explicitness of his grieving leaves the other mourners shifting uncomfortably in their pews – and soon, inevitably, comparing and questioning the states of their own marriages.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Tom and Annie are spending the pandemic lockdown safely inside their own home, ordering everything they need online. But when Amazon boxes start arriving with merchandise they didn’t order – first it’s ghost guns, then bundled cash, and soon a carefully-packed white powder – they know these aren’t shipping errors. They’ve been cornered into a dark partnership they never asked for, with no apparent way out.</image:caption>
