The Lonely Path

It was still dark when he started walking towards home. The city was observing Bandh so he had to walk the distance of about 3 miles to reach home. Suprrisingly all the roads were deserted. He could not see any living thing on the road. As he turned the corner he saw a dog sitting on the road looking forlorn. He just patted the dog and walked. His own mind was in turmoil over the day's events. Inspite of some mental reservations he decided to take a shortcut as he wanted to shorten the period of lonely walk. The only problem was that the path was through the graveyard.
