Highly quotable.
Deleting it. Um, delete photo.
It's gone. It's all gone.
How do you want your eggs?
The premise
Here’s the bit.
A man wakes his wife with a cheerful good morning while holding up his phone, having just photographed her asleep. She answers by pressing a silenced pistol to his temple and ordering him to erase the picture. He scrambles through the menus, narrating each tap, and she keeps the barrel on him until the photo is confirmed gone. Then she melts into affection, thanks him and asks how he wants his eggs, as if nothing had happened.
