He said to meet him at the restaurant at 1 in the afternoon on Saturday. It was now three in the afternoon on Saturday and he hadn't shown up. Melissa was getting worried. At first she was mad because she thought she had been stood up but when she asked around, no one had seen him since earlier that morning. She had tried to contact him, but his phone went straight to voice mail. She called his house but no one answered there either. She decided to go home and try to call him again later. No sooner than she entered her apartment did the phone ring. She was expecting it to be him, but it wasn't. It was the local hospital calling to tell her that the "John Doe" they had was her boyfriend. One year later, on that same Saturday, at one o'clock, a woman was seen approaching a gravesite with a picnic basket and flowers. She sat in front of one of the graves and pulled food out of her basket after laying the flowers down on the grave.
"You promised me lunch, remember?"
