Millard believes he knows quite enough about himself, or at least enough that 'The Community' approves. However, he feels bitter contempt for the society that seems to plague him. He desires a change but all human beings know it is an impossible feat. The 'Glass of The Dome' will prevent escape, to keep all human beings where they rightly belong.

Follow along - at a distance - with Millard in this short story to see how tight a hold 'The Community' has on him. Millard does not know a word for freedom but dares to long for it. Can he attain it in the end or is the thought simply too fantastical?

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!
