I thought this one had some interesting motifs, namely the use of photographs, and I think the end with the wife blowing a kiss and blowing out the windows was an inspired piece of surreal imagery. I also don't think Candy was unnecessary. I think some people get carried away with scripts being to the point. With the exception of the name Candy being one of the biggest cliches in the book, I think she did bring out some interesting facets of the character and if not, at least some interesting luridness out of the story as opposed to uninteresting luridness which is rampant amongst scripts.

The story itself was pretty tired. Someone here once put up a short list of most overused ideas for short scripts and come to think of it, a guy dealing with the loss of his dead wife in one way or another is definitely one of them. Now I do think you did a number of different things with the formula but maybe a few numbers too short of transcending it.

I like your writing style a lot. It's your own and very much distinct. The story, not so much. I suppose I enjoyed it regardless so good job with this one.
