Before I start anything, I want to put my hand on the bible and vow to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. I have nothing to hide. But this, this is my journal. This is my life, and these are my secrets. I don't want to hide anymore, and I don't want to lie. I want everyone to know MY point of view. If that means publicly admitting every mistake I've made, then so be it.
This Journal has a lot more to it then just "I went out for lunch today." Behind this cover is break ups, make ups, friendships, betrayal, drama, lies, the TRUTH, and everything in between. Basically, the life for a 15 year old in high school. Starting with, the one rumor that destroyed my reputation.
This is not my beg for help, or my seek for attention. This is my life, and if someone else is stuck in the same situation, we can live it together. That's all that counts. So here, let me start
Dear Journal ....
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!
