I watched Sierra's stomach rise and fall as she lay on the bed. Her face was sweaty and her hair was tousled. I studied her face. 
 	She had an olive tone skin and long, dark brown hair that surrounded her. Even though her eyes were closed, I still looked at her closed big brown eyes and her thick eye lashes. My gaze drifted toward her plump lips and traveled down to her slender body. She looked so beautiful and peaceful. I extended my hand out towards her face and tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear.
	 My thumb stayed and stroked her face. 
         No.
         I couldn't do this.
         I couldn't fall in love.
         Not again.

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!
