It has been years since the last time she saw another human. Years since she has been alone, all alone in her big city. Trying to keep her sanity, and keep surviving, with the only purpose of recording what has happened and tell the story, because no one else can. She has to, because she is the only human left alive on planet Earth. 
She has to keep humanity alive in memory, hope that some other species in another era will rise, and learn about them; how smart they were, how beautiful, how kind, how creative. But also how cruel, how evil, how selfish, how violent, and how stupid they could be.
She hoped her journals and records would keep humanity from being forgotten and fading away.
She hoped the next ones on Earth would learn from humanity's mistakes, unlike humans themselves.

This is the story of Marie Anderson and how humanity fell and became extinct. How she became a hero to be remembered for her bravery.
But it is also a warning.
Don't do the same things they did.

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!
