I am Callie Marie.
I well,  I guess, live silently. 
I go days upon days without saying a word. 
I'm often asked why I won't speak. They call me mute and other harsh names. 
I stopped talking because I was afraid. I was afraid people would judge me for what I had to say.
I was afraid that if I said anything people would use it to hurt me.
The good thing of living silently is:
You don't have to be afraid to say anything because you are your only audience.
The bad thing is:
You wish so hard you could say something, anything. 
You wish you had a voice in decisions and conflicts.
It's okay you get used to it.
Not really.

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!
