Mission To Zyxx

What happens when you die? Well, everyone else keeps living, unless they were sitting next to you on the rollercoaster that went off the track. What else happens? Your fingernails keep growing. That’s crazy, right? Did you know I have to get a manicure immediately after I resurrect? Every time. I wake up and it’s like Wolfman Derf! Yikes. And one more thing that happens sometimes, if you’re me: shit gets REAL WEIRD at the morgue!
