Always read your Evites

Based on a true story.

Here, take this shovel and start digging over there away from that tree so you don't hit the thicker part of the roots.

Uhhh... OK.

While you're doing that, I'll wrap the body in the tarp and grab another shovel.

Wait. What? What's going on?

What do you mean?

What the fuck is going on here?

I explained it in the Evite.

In the Evite? I didn't really read the whole thing. I thought it was for a party.

Well, I called it a burial party. But I was fairly explicit on what we're doing here.

This is getting weird. I think I'd better leave. I don't want to know more than what you've told me.

We're burying my wife.

Goddamn it, I said I don't... ahhhh... shit.

Look, man, you already responded 'yes' to the Evite, so that makes you an accomplice.

But I didn't--

No wonder you were the only one out of 50 who accepted the invitation.

Oh my god. All of those people know about this. I've got to call the cops.

Really? Do you think I won't kill you too? Don't you watch movies? After the initial killing, subsequent murders just get easier, especially when you're trying to cover up the first one. That's not a threat. Don't take it as a threat. You and I are cool. I'm just saying it's an inevitability. Nothing personal.

If you come near me, I'll beat you all to hell with this shovel. Now I'm going back to my car, and I'm reporting you to the authorities.

What if I help you bury your wife after this?

...

...

Yeah, OK. Dig over there, you said?
