A special fanfiction homage to the iconic Dickens novel A Christmas Carol. Enjoy!
====
In a very nice mansion in New England lived a miserly prince named Satan who hoarded his wealth and carried in his heart a certain disdain for the ways/methods of mankind, as he relished in his successes with Wall Street diamonds.
This prince of wealth in New England had a dream one night during which he was visited by the specters of three special messenger-spirits (or 'ghosts') who told him about his errors in his past, present, and possible future.
During this dream, Satan the prince (New England) thought about how his errors might have affected the course in his life that led him to the detours that had effectively robbed him of the current fruits of married life, perhaps with a special woman of society shine!
The first ghost was that of the Past, and this specter told Satan that he'd become negligent of the past decisions in his life which had brought him inevitably to a state of perpetual regret and greed, thinking only about the stature and quality of his drive for American celebrity, and the specter seemed to carry in him a certain 'tone' of moral delight.
The second ghost was that of the Present, and this female specter explained to Satan the prince (New England) how he'd never took the chance to use his resources or fortunes to simply call a recently separated girlfriend and perhaps entreat her for a courtship of restored love or marriage proposition if for nothing but to make amends for the greedy corporate 'cat' he'd become, and Satan the prince realized this time Present-specter was a unique messenger of dollars.
Satan finally felt resolved to change his life completely, but he wasn't convinced all his darkness was of his own folly, until he encountered the 3rd and final ghost/specter, that of the Future. This ghost simply whispered to Satan the prince (New England) --- "Perhaps you'll find in death what you truly robbed yourself of in life --- the chance to feel simply innocent."
SATAN: That's it; these 3 messenger-spirits have renewed my faith; I'll gift my entire business-company special board-game toys for Christmas!
Satan then purchased a vintage Volvo-car and drove it to a farm occupied by his most recent separated girlfriend and made love to her, promising her that he'd do what he should've considered some time ago as he was accumulating his estate --- thoughts about dreams!
Thus ends the tale of a typical American fortune-cat who'd been awakened for Christmas to the bright realities of sincere emotions, and perhaps such a folk-tale may remind us why capital is as important as distance.
