(NOT IN ANY WAY ASSOCIATED WITH PERCY JACKSON!! Sorry...)

Percy Hathaway loved flowers. She would spend her days in her mother's flower shop just admiring Nature's handiwork. Her father, Deuce, loved gambling. His time was spent sitting at a poker table, a cigar in his mouth and a beer in his hand. One night, a young man by the name of Haden Donahughe approached the game  he and his friends were playing. He asked if Deuce Hathaway would take a bet: if he lost, Deuce would have the support of The Underworld, Haden's gang. But if he won, Haden would be awarded the hand of Percy. 

Based on the Myth of Persephone

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!
