Cracked

A short story of love and madness.

Three years ago Phillip lost his wife. She was his entire world. He has hundreds of photographs of her. On the anniversary of her passing, he noticed a crack in the photo of his wife. That's unusual. He replaces the photo. It is also cracked. He checks every photo in the house. The crack is present in each one. In the exact same place.

Confused and unable to stop tears falling from his face, Philip hears a thump come from the stand-alone freezer in his kitchen.
