Student 5 minute short

About a woman named Melissa who is struggling in her relationship with her husband, who begins by ignoring her. Melissa then starts to think her husband is having an affair, after hearing him on the phone to another woman. Whilst he is out she discovers a large delivery order of flowers that clearly aren't for her. Her husband (Steven) returns home with the woman that turns out to be Melissa's sister. They are seen hugging in the hallway and Melissa builds up the courage to demand what is going on. Melissa then realises that the room is filled with flowers, candles and a photo of her. She is hit with a flashback of her lying on the sofa, surrounded by both Steven and her sister (Jess) and dying of cancer. She then realises that she is actually dead and that Jess and Steven are arranging a shrine for her, after returning from her funeral.
