Meet Reed. The most sarcastic, over-logical, I'm-gonna-do-this-just-because person you'll ever live to see.

It's not that he's abnormal, no, he is as normal as you and I. Watch his story unfold as you wonder why he is as he is, and what happens in his mind as he lives life "to the fullest". Although he may deny what the meaning of "to the fullest" may be.

Although his thinking may not be of mine or yours, he is a person all the same.

See as his smile widens and he realizes what he truly feels. Imagine his happiness growing as big as the sun.

--------------------

"So this is what it feels like to know yourself," he looked down at the dirt.

"I guess so," she smiled.

"I'm not sure I'll ever get the hang of this," his feet shuffled causing a small dust could to form.

"Then I guess you'll have to sprint for it!" smiling, she turned and ran away, the sound of her shoes on the grainy gravel loud, and echoing.

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!
