Most people's fears are normal like arachnophobia or acrophobia; some have unusual fears such as xanthophobia, which is the fear of the colour yellow. But for as long as I can remember my biggest fear was time. That time was running out, or that I wasn't using my time wisely. 

The gift wasn't my choice. 

It was forced upon me. 
People would say This 'gift' is a privilege and that I'm lucky to have such a wonderful "power". But they don't have to live with this so called "gift". They aren't the ones that can't live a normal life, they don't have to be on the run constantly from people that want to kill you. 

I'm rose Vogel and this is my story.

29 parts Complete

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!
