What you might consider to be a 'typical' high school story. Horrible girls, jock boys and tangled love. I know, this is supposed to make you want to read the story, and I'm not doing an awfully good job at that so far...right? Who wants to read another typical story, my typical story, over all of the other options? I'm not going to flatter my story to get your reads.
So here we go.
Brynn, an introverted quiet person, attends Starlic high school. Being at high school with no close friends may seem somewhat... difficult, but for Brynn this is just an ordinary schedule... on repeat, every day. Good grades. Check. Introverted. Check. Cliché loner. Check. Brynn just about fits every box for every typical victim of high school... ever.  Apart from...she's not. Actually, she is a bystander. 
The victim you ask...?
 I can't tell you all the gossip here. Secrets stay sealed in this school.

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!
