Cruel Sistah
I really liked the feel of this story. Folksy, I guess would be a good word. The foreword says it's based on a traditional ballad. I thought the ending was a little dissapointing. She could have expanded it a little, it felt cut short. But it was an interesting story, a murder story was not what I expected. It was pretty creepy that Calliope kept the hair and scapl of her murdered sister.

I really wasn't expecting the murder of Calliope's sister either. I mean it didn't really give a real reason to why she murdered her. I guess it was out of jealousy for her sister's beauty and especially her long gorgeous hair that she herself did not possess. The biggest reason would be the boyfriend that her sister had before she murdered her. She was getting really violent when she was talking about where he kissed her and actually drew blood from scratching her while washing her hair. I don't really get why the boyfriend started to date Calliope though. I mean he was dating her sister and then she all of a sudden disappeared/got murdered. I know I wouldn't date my boyfriend's brother if my boyfriend died all of a sudden. Maybe that's just me?? But then again, the family might not of known that the younger sister had just recently started back dating him. Plus the advantages that he speaks of when dating Calliope. I agree that the story is definitely folksy.
