He never understood... (short fiction)
...why every time his wife took a photo of him, no matter what the camera, she always managed to cut off his head. At first, he blamed the shitty viewfinder on the old point-and-shoot Minolta. The same thing happened with the Nikon SLR they bought. Then digital came along, and even with screens on the back of the camera she still managed to lop off his head. It got to be quite the joke between them. 40 years of marriage, and 40 years of ruined images. It wasn't until that night, half asleep on the couch, she'd come at him with the carving knife, aiming for a clean cut across his neck. At last, he understood.
