We've all heard of the stories, the ones where somebody takes their life in the end, the ones where there's no point to go from to develop or move on the plot once it's through, the ones that have the power to make a grown man cry.

And then, of course, there's mine. 

The type where everything I thought would make everything better was about as wrong as a nun trying to sell herself off as a prostitute, the type where I have to live with my own actions everyday instead of somebody else's.

The aftermath, I like to call it.

The aftermath of one big, fat mistake.

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!
