"DADDY! DADDY DON'T! PLEASE!" Julie cried, sinking down to the ground and pulling the little bundle in her arms closer.
"MAMA! PLEASE, DO SOMETHING!"
The tears slid freely down her face and she could hear her mother inside, trying to reach for the door nob.
"We can't do this Robert!" She heard her mother protest.
"She's our daughter!"
"She's no daughter of mine."
Julie felt a knife stab in her heart and leaned against the closed door, trying to wake up from this terrible dream.
"Daddy...Please..." She whispered, closing her eyes.

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!
