My name is Madison Clark and I am the Undead. FEAR ME.Okay...so I'm not really that scary. I weigh about a hundred pounds soaking wet and I'm more likely to crash my car through your gate than eat your brain. My life is crazy complicated, though. My mother has this weird Stepford thing going on, my oh-so-perfect sister is already doing all the things I should be doing, including paying her own rent, and my boss just froze herself solid in her own walk-in freezer. I really, really miss my dad.
And of course, I'm dead. Did I mention that already?
Not that people seem to cut me any slack or anything. I already finished school once, and now I have to go back a second time and learn how to run the family business. It turns out that the whole accountancy thing is just a cover, and now I have to learn how to take souls and show them to the next world. There's an app with a life of its own, a uniform that is really (I mean REALLY) unflattering, and a Queen Bee who seems determined to make my afterlife a misery.
Fortunately, I'm not alone in the crazy. There's a whole family of professional mourners who've taken me under their wing. There's a love interest, a social climber in the funeral business who seems to be going out of his way to spend time with me. And last but not least, there's my best friend Aaron, the one person I can tell anything to - if telling anyone was allowed.
So yeah - that's me...and you can hear my story soon.
*beep beep*
Sorry, that's my phone. Wait just a second...what? I have to kill WHO?!
