Answer:
Mr. and Mrs. Gupta were grief stricken by Rajesh's death, who had been their servant for over fourteen years. It was an accident which left painful memories etched on the minds of the Guptas. As time passed, they started regaining momentum of their lives. However, soon they started getting blank calls at night. These calls always came after they had gone off to sleep and that too on their landline. It was a pain to get off the bed, and the routine soon became frustrating and irritating as no one spoke on the other end. However, one night Mrs. Gupta noticed that the door was unlocked. Before long the couple realised that the phone rang only when they had left the door unlocked. And eventually, it dawned on them that this might be a way in which Rajesh wanted to inform them about their carelessness, taking care of their safety even after he had died.

Answer:
One morning as I went for a morning walk, I noticed some bushes shaking. Since it was not a windy morning, it seemed unnatural. Out of curiosity I walked towards the bush and to my utter amazement, saw a zombie! It hurried towards the nearby graveyard and I followed him. He seemed a little uncomfortable but he did not dissuade me from following him. After reaching the graveyard, he asked me to sit with him. He told me fascinating things about their nature and lifestyle. He also told me how upset he was with the wrong depiction of zombies in the movies. I felt embarrassed at our puny perspective about such sweet and friendly beings. Although I wanted to know more about them, he suddenly stood up and left in a jiffy. Suddenly, I was all alone in the graveyard. Till this day I have been trying to assess the feasibility of the encounter.
