"This coloring book is the one that the child colored in with the dullest colors in the crayon box.  This coloring book was colored with the saddest greys and blues.  The sky was painted no lighter than ash.  The ground was burnt away with a fire of hatred, leaving only the black remains of what life there used to be.  The only color was blue, but even then, that faded away into a grey midway.  Most of it was left uncolored.  The child got bored with it.  It found a new coloring book it liked much more.  One they felt deserved their precious color.  And so, this coloring book was abandoned and torn and folded at the bottom of the toybox."

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.
