And he doesn't believe in love anymore. Yet what does anyone want but to belong--to someone or somewhere? And to have them belong to you--be they lover, family, or friend. Will Ralph have his own Christmas wish fulfilled this year, of him belonging to someone special, and having she belonging to him? Ralph had vowed never to trust and never to love again.

My fan fic "A Christmas Carol Reimagined" is the tale of a miserly middle aged man--a friend to no one--who is scared into realizing the folly of his ways when he is visited by three ghosts (past, present, and future). He then vows to be compassionate toward his fellow man and through his good deeds, he redeems himself--and he comes to know the meaning of love. My story here is my "mash up" of "A Christmas Carol" (original story by Charles Dickens) with Elizabeth Gaskell's "North & South", JRR Tolkien's (via Sir Peter Jackson's films of) "The Hobbit", and is set in the 1850's. I hope that you enjoy it! Cheers!
