Roadside Crosses-A Short Story

A young man collects roadside crosses and places them in his yard to mourn the deaths of the people they represent. The man doesn't actually know any of these people. He mourns their deaths to avoid mourning the death that truly plagues him. When someone from his past comes back and reminds him of the root of his sorrows, he is forced to face the loss that turned his life upside down a year earlier.
