Localizing variables in express

I need some help with express: I have a variable in express that is called lastQuestion, to remember the last question even when assigned across multiple functions.

here's a simplified version of my code:

var lastQuestion;  function sjhda(){    //uses the variable    lastQuestion = generateQuestion();    return(lastQuestion);  }    function asjhasd(){    //uses the variable    lastQuestion = generateQuestion();    return(lastQuestion);  }    function asjhd(){    //uses the variable    lastQuestion = generateQuestion();    return(lastQuestion);  }  

Let's say that two clients are using the website and this happens:

1: client one starts using the bot, and begins to answer the question (and variable lastQuestion!) "How are you?" 2: client two who is already on generates a new question, and begins to answer the question (while resetting lastQuestion), "What are the odds of death?" 3: client one submits the answer "great". now the answer to the question "What are the odds of death?" has been saved as "great". How can I fix this? Also, I'd like to avoid using cookies if possible. Thanks!
