Readers would think that Gregory Abbott would be murdered with one of these items; however not using one killed Mr. Abbott, which showed situational irony. The contrary of what was anticipated to happen arose.…

Want to know what the worst words you can ever here are? “Hey Alex, let’s go to the haunted house up in the mountains!” Of course, you substitute your name for my name because you’re not me and… anyway, the point of the story is that those words can really ruin a weekend.
