Apples in a Sci Fi short story.

Alienation and Love in the Hebrew Alphabet
a short storyby Lavie Tidhar. A fine Sci-fi tale... a more modern Americana somewhat reminiscent of the legendary Phillip K. Dick.

Aleph
An apple tree. A little girl standing beside it.
The apples are small and bitter, like old men; they are wizened and sour.
Somewhere, a chime sounds, a wind blows leaves on the ground.
Somewhere, the hiss of escaping air.
