Peering onto the fatal sight that lies a block ahead of her, Amanda slows down and swiftly turns her petit body to the opposite direction. 
Assuring herself that she has kept to the quietude she had found. 

What if someone saw her witness it all? Would she be next too? She needs to leave- urgently.

Her wide strides make her even more anxious. Sprinting seems better for a chance to escape but if she runs like a deer away from a predator someone would think she knows something. 

Eventually, she prefers the former. 

Clutching her cheap fur lined bag to her sides, Amanda convulsively shivers in fear. The warmth her pacing gives her is not enough to condense the piercing fear that rises with each stride she takes. 

"Wouldn't it be humane to call the police?", questions a husky yet undisturbed voice from her rear.

Her steps cease as her feet stiffen and weirdly clasp to the ground like a frog on a raining day- what a betrayal. 
Her eyes bulge expectedly in terror and sudden discernment. A trait she lacked earlier on.

If only she had called the police.

...

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!
