Maile Meloy
Everett and his wife Pam are taking home a lopsided Christmas tree when they encounter two lost hitchhikers named Bonnie and Clyde at the side of a dark rural road. But any threat these strangers may pose diminishes as it becomes clear that the real danger for Everett and Pam lies in their own memories, in past wounds they can't let go. All this and a ham radio as Maile Meloy reads from her story “O Tannenbaum”.
