Well, of course you are.

Did he escape? What was really inside that red patent leather handbag? Were they, in fact, brother and sister? Did he put the correct letter in the envelope before he posted it? And who was that guy, anyway? Did you see the look they gave each other? And the water, did you notice how cloudy it was? And the way the glass shattered just a microsecond before the golf club actually hit the window pane?

Or was it someone else who just looked exactly like her?
