I wonder...

What is it like to be free?

To walk upon the shorelines of grace
To feel the sand tickle the soles of my feet
To have the wind kiss the cheeks of my face
To bathe in the warmth of the golden sun
Without the shadow of denial trailing my footsteps
Without the tears of despair staining my skin
Without the hands of death holding onto my neck

Squeezing

Wheezing

Lying

Dying

...I wonder what it would be like

To simply breathe.

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!
