Creative Outlet Question

What should the title for my short story be?

I am trying to get into a club at school called "Young Writers Conference." In order to get into the club you have to write a short story. Only few get selected. My story is about a teenager who goes to a garage sale and buys an urn to use to decorate her room. But, when she gets home weird and mysterious things happen to her and things around her. Only later does she notice there are ashes in the urn.

Does it sound good?

What should the title be? :)

A litte tip: When writing a story, poetry, or a novel...the title is best kept short, readers are more likely to keep interest. They don't want to sit there reading a long title. They want to read the book. Example: "The Urn" is short, sounds mysterious, even mystic, it leaves it open. It makes the reader want to pick up the book. What's the Urn? Sounds interesting!!! Kinds of reminds me of Stephen King title. Well good luck.
