The clinking of metal against metal sounded from the front of the store. I poked my head around the door that separated us from the rest of the store. The metal gate separating us from the rest of the mall was sliding down.

Nike never knew an afternoon at the mall would turn into a hostage situation, which includes her. Nor did she suspect to be unconscious in under 1 hour. But sometimes life throws you stuff you can't handle, including a hit to the head, and then tells you to do a backflip.

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!
