I am the Great Drosselmeyer, maker of stories and the all-seeing eye.

Why am I doing this, you ask? Because death is not entertaining. All the peace and harmony, and happy endings I see day-by-day is torturing me on my death bed. And people would like stories where other people, and not themselves, are decently miserable.

I want drama! I want to see scenes that would make the hairs on my arms stand up in pure excitement! I want to see my characters cry their hearts out as they lose their souls in exchange for the safety of their loved ones!

I would want to narrate to you a delicious story of a boy and his dinner.

Sex and Death in Skeleton City

29 parts Complete

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!
