Where do the ordinary people go?

People who aren't brave enough to be feared, who are not interesting enough to be spoken about, people who aren't smart enough to leave a mark, people who get lost in the ever-racing world, who are forever pushed to the sidelines, people who are diminished to a seemingly unremarkable existence. 
People who do not matter in the grand scheme of things.

This is an attempt to look into four such lives. An attempt to explore their stories, to give them more space in literature which is filled by the stories of the brave and the outspoken.

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!
