Complete story — includes the ending

When smart, cynical 18-year-old Georgia 'George' Lass is killed by an errant toilet seat falling from space, she joins the ranks of an undead group of grim reapers. It's her job to reap the souls from the living and guide them to their eternal reward. Besides coping with her new job, she must learn to deal with being young and starting out – and of course, being dead. George is introduced to her droll boss Rube and fellow reapers: Wisecracking Betty, moody British ex-musician Mason, and cynical meter maid Roxy, all of whom show her around her first few days on the job. George's first dreaded assignment is a difficult one: she has to collect the soul of a little girl.
