Amlan Satan, a captain of industry in the United States (America!) lived in a posh Manhattan office where he was a Wall Street 'bard' of fortunes. Well, he didn't 'live' in that office, but he may as well have, and he was very miserly and a ruthless tycoon.

He wasn't always this way, and that's the subject of this tale of Christmas awakening. Follow along.

Currently, Mr. Satan lives in this amazing palace in Providence, and he's considered one of the wealthiest men in the world, mostly because his wealth is all in shares/stocks, which makes his fortune both 'modern' and 'mobile' and very hard to lose.

Inside his Providence-estate, you'll be in awe of what's the proportion of lifestyle-luxury and vanity in modern times, and Mr. Satan knows this, and he lives alone, with his adequately paid but neglected housekeeping staff and butler Alfred.

"One night, I was driving late to get cigarettes, and I spotted a ghost on the road and picked her up" (Amlan 'Scrooge' Satan).

This ghost claimed she was the spiritual and optimistic specter of Amlan Satan's past, and she showed him the vision of the lost love of his life, the Algerian beauty-queen contest winner Ezzy, whom Mr. Satan left behind to continue to amass his fortunes in Manhattan.

"The next morning, while driving to the market, I saw an eerie zombie-man and picked him up too" (Amlan 'Scrooge' Satan).

This ghost, of the 'eerie zombie-man' claimed he was the specter of the spiritual repentance of the present/current time and showed Amlan Satan the consequences of his vain and wealth-hoarding life. This ghost showed him the neglected subway systems in New York, which Mr. Satan, with his immaculate wealth/fortunes from Wall Street, could easily organize/fund for a serious infrastructural renovation 'mission' or project.

"That night, I ran into a stranger ghost in the office parking lot, and he was wearing a hat-and-cloak" (Amlan 'Scrooge' Satan).

This final ghost claimed he was the specter of the future, of things-to-come, and he explained to Amlan that he was going to be part of a future 'venture' (in his ripe-old-age) involving the 'genesis' of a massive New York cell-cemetery project in which the cells of dead people would be 'preserved' in a mortuary-like 'cyber-hologram' cell-chamber for mourners/family to visit and admire. It was this 'vision' of the future that finally made Mr. Satan snap --- he now realized his entire life was one of completely undeniable vain-glorious 'missions' of life's lost romantic sensitivities.

"I have one chance now to amend my life and inject it with the spirit(s) I've squandered with vanity" (Amlan 'Scrooge' Satan).

The following week, following this tripod-visitation by the three temporal ghosts/specters, Mr. Satan purchased Monopoly: Oil and Gas board-game sets for all his business-firm employees in Manhattan, urging them all to remember their childhood once more and not 'dwell' on ambition alone; he then invested about $4 million in a publicized subway-system renovation project in New York. He was given the 'Honor-Key' to the city (Manhattan) by the mayor!
