This is a short story that I wrote in 7th grade. I edited it recently, but most of it is as it was in 7th grade. An interesting start to a story, maybe I will continue it in the future. It is about a girl named Carol whose family has been on edge after her brother left for mysterious purposes. Her brother Tristan and her parents tell her that the weird dreams recently are nothing significant, that they should be forgotten. She realizes a secret that is kept from the younger generations by her family.

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!
