Knockin' on a New Worlds Door is the first episode of Phantom Noir. It was written by SuperNerd295.

Plot
Like usual, the streets of the afterlife were as lively as could be, with bright neon lights illuminating the tall shadowy buildings and the faces of it's men and women. People slowly drifted by the energetic and out of this world occurrences, still thinking they had a limited time to enjoy themselves. Others passed solemnly with regret, a deep self-fueled hatred for what they could have done, and who they missed. People were merely shells of their former self, a completely new and different look decided upon by themselves, their past, their interests, their job, their culture. This is the true, inner heart of one, the refined incorporeal representation of the soul. This is them.

The shuffling crowds of the dead lived on in this world, going about daily activities, talking with once lost friends and family. In a way, this new, immortal life had a great sense of closure, yet also a greater, deeper sense of loss.

He slowly trudged down the street, the clack of his boot making his presence known to those around him. Turning their heads, those around him stared in disbelief as a gun materialized in his hand. "You know Baker..." He said, pulling his cap over his eyes. "You were really hard to track down. It's almost like your invisible." Pulling his cap up he smirked, staring directly at a man in yellow clothing.

"Listen sir, I don't know who this Ba-" And he was knocked onto the ground as the sound of running filled the street. Without hesitation, the armed man chased after him, looking for the shadow on the streets, the mark of a shoe, the sound of his feet and the harshness of his tired breath.
