CHAPTER 1
-
The alarm clock broke at 8:00 AM, "Damn I might be late again." As I roll onto the cold hardwood flooring. Just as that happens a sharp piece of led goes into my back. "Ouch!" I yelled. Sitting  immediately up, putting a hand to my back and the little piece of led rolls onto the floor under the surface of my bed.

        I stand up and walk over to my smashed mirror...to see my broken reflection. A purple bruised face I sigh saying "at least it isn't swelled up anymore." 
I look to the ground to see my skinny bones. I squeeze my eyes tight close.

       My name is Tya, I'm a high school student. I'm not "popular" or anything near that. I have one friend. Ha, what the hell am I saying more like my savior named Tiff.

       As I throw a baggy black t-shirt and ripped up gap jeans. And then my sister comes yelling in some fake "singing" voice. "UGH SHUT UP!" I yell at her. She looks at me, "whats wrong sissy wissy?" she says and laughs. Steam fuels my lungs insanely...."GET OUT NOW!!!" She just slienty nods and leaves.

      I leave my room

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!
