One of the stories that stuck with me the most on here was one where a man was receiving a phone call from his [deceased] son, who apparently didn't know he was dead. The son was asking for help fining his way home, but that man didn't know how to help him. Does anybody remember the name, author, and or episode number for this one?
Thank you!

Cell Call is the first one that pops to mind. Not sure if that's right though.

All cat stories start with this statement: “My mother, who was the first cat, told me this...”

I vaguely recognize this - I think it was flash in a FLASH ON THE BORDERLANDS episode, but I just checked the "Grief" episode and it wasn't part of that one.... hmmmm
