Hi. My name is Kira, I am eighteen years old and I am dying. Quite an intro I got going here, but I thought I would just get that part over with. So uh, I have something called ALST and that is basically an acronym for "short life expectancy, high suffering". It's so incredible hard to make people care about anything. People care so much about other things already, so why should they spend their time on listening to me and my thoughts? I have suffered, I have been in tremendous pain, yet I am happier than most people I meet. But how can that be? I guess you will have to listen in order to find out.

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!
