 2. A girl is at the funeral of her mother. She meets a
nice guy that she didn’t know who also was at the
funeral and they hit it off. She was busy at the funeral
and didn’t have time to ask him for his number before
he left. She tried really hard to track him down, but no
one knew who he was or how to contact him. A few
days later, she killed her sister. Why did she kill her
sister?
RIP

She expected the guy to show up at her sister’s

funeral.
