'The girl stared at the water. She just kept staring and staring.
 "Hey!" Charity yelled, even though they were sitting right next to each other. "I asked you a question!"
The girl didn't do anything, but she spoke in the saddest voice Charity had ever heard. "What was your question again?"
"I asked you what your name was." Charity told her.
The girl shook her head. "I can't tell you that."
Charity blinked. "What? Why not?"
"Because it would scare you too much."'

Charity was just adopted into a family that had lost a daughter. She feels like she's a replacement for the one they lost, especially since the family's living daughter, Liz, treats Charity like it's her fault her little sister drowned in a lake. Charity doesn't feel safe to talk to anyone about her problems, except a sad, nameless girl who sits at the edge of the lake and watches it's smooth surface. Only, no one can see this girl, except for Charity.

Chuck Colt, a cowardly and highly neurotic ghost, must find a way to reunite his soul to his newly zombified body before dawn, lest his (un)death becomes permanent. ***** When Chuck Colt, a neurotic Movie Critic, inexplicably sees his own corpse hanging from a ceiling fan, he comes to the sudden realization that he is somehow a ghost. To make matters worse, his body seems to be moving on its own, and it doesn't like to follow Chuck's instructions. Now, both Ghost and Zombie Chuck must work together in order to find a cure for their undead curse before sundown, lest they get stuck like that for eternity - if one of the city's weird assortment of characters doesn't get to them first. The pair must comb through the magical city of New Orleans, facing multiple obstacles along the way - including but not limited to: werepugs, suicidal vampires, and trigger-happy priests - but the biggest obstacle they face is time. Can Chuck Colt beat the clock to be whole again, or will the Big Easy prove to be too hard to handle? For what is Tragedy, but Comedy - Time? TW: Mentions of self-harm, suicide.
