SYNOPSIS:

With both of his parents dying before he could even reach adolescence, Allen Riley Cedric grew up not having much of a support system other than his guardian and his father's righthand man. Being kept in solitary by his father for most of his childhood, making him believe that he could trust no one, he grew far and far away from people. Scared of betrayal, he hid his emotions, thinking they might be used against him, creating an apathetic façade to protect himself. Bounded by his terrorizing childhood and the nightmares constantly bugging him during the night, Allen tries for years to build the version of himself that he thinks would fit the people's ideals. A version that he thinks is far better than his crazy father. As he struggles to contain and fight his inner monsters, he will meet people along the way who will make or break his trust even further.

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!
