  1. A Story

    Share Share Post
    Once upon a time there was a girl and she had a ring on her finger. When she died she was put in the grave. One night two men went to the grave and opened it and they cut the finger off her trying to get the ring. While they were cutting it she jumped out of the coffin and raced them out of the graveyard.
