Shattered

A piercing scream and a glass crashes to the floor. The bitter silence broken. It had been so quiet for so long, it was nearly deafening. All the anger, rage, fear, resentment, sadness, hopelessness building for so long. It was almost inevitable that it would have to come out sometime. And come out it did. An explosion so fast, that it was almost in slow motion. It had been a long time coming, yet somehow it still seemed unexpected. A chair takes flight through the room, a photograph shaken from the wall, and with it the lives of a family.
