Synopsis for "Cold Ashes -- Hot Rage"
A man murders his rival so that he can marry the dead man's wife, but since the victim was able to foresee his own death he worries about the ritual he made his wife swear to abide by. Every month on the night of the full moon she must listen to the urn his ashes have been deposited in for his killer's name. The killer worries as she goes into a trance that she actually does hear something. The killer asks her to marry him and she accepts. He figures that he can drop the urn to smash it and claim it was accident so as to be rid of it. When the urn shatters the ashes swirl into a shadowy figure and strangle the killer. The woman berates him as a fool. The urn told her that he was the killer a month ago and begged to be released from the urn. She didn't want to do it as she wanted the killer to marry her.
