It was a nice and beautiful morning like every day, but there was police at a house in a neighborhood where there was a dead woman named Rhoda. They wondered how she got like that in the first place, the police happened to find a lighter and a melted gasoline can outside in her yard but had no idea of what happened to her. They then happened to find some ants in her yard as well as getting information from her neighbours which slowly but shortly started to fit the puzzle pieces together. They soon find out that she had been smoking a cigarette and had been dousing and was dousing ant hills in her yard with gasoline, when she was holding the gas can an ember from the cigarette fell into the gasoline stream which quickly ignited and traveled up the stream, bursting the can, exploding flames out on her, killing Rhoda instantly.
"Rhoda was a woman who wanted all ants gone on her yard, but in the end .... she wound up .... burned to a crisp. Guess that makes the score Ants - 1 Karens - 0"
