I scribble small signs in my notebook, waiting for the class to end. It was relatively quiet, all other students were taking notes or just daydreaming. I glance up at a desk in the front with an empty seat. She's not present for the second day. Shame. I didn't want to take long picking someone, since dad is very persistent and impatient. I don't want to get involved with his work as much as possible. And while my perception of everyday occurences have been altered over the past two years, I stand with my belief that what he does is inhumane. But with a boring life like this, it is.. intriguing. I pull out my phone from under the desk as I text her, asking if she would like to meet up later today. She responds quickly, stating a time and place. Good to know she's still alive and in good enough health to write back in seconds. I guess she's not affected yet.

Geoff and Naomi are dead, and they're depressed, but when Geoff's cat Bernie dies as well, they embark on a wild journey to find it in the underworld. ***** When Geoff dies, alongside his girlfriend Naomi, they end up sharing an apartment in the Underworld as skeletons. But after a few years, Geoff starts suffering a mid-death crisis. What's the purpose of going through the motions as a skeleton if you can't really live? Then he gets word that his cat, Bernie, just died and he can collect him and bring him home! Geoff and Naomi hurry to get Bernie only to discover that, due to a clerical error, their cat has been lost. With the hunt for Bernie giving new purpose to Geoff's un-life, he and Naomi begin a quest to get back their cat. Battling skeleton pirates, climbing the sky ladder and facing off against the villain who took Bernie, Geoff is determined to find his purpose - or die a second time trying!
