"Death was nothing like he was told. In Church, in the dining halls, he could never have imagined the cold, rough feeling of the chains in his hands, the biting cold of the afterlife, the gnawing, harrowing, distressing sight of Ebenezer Scrooge."
Jacob Marley, infatuated with his very much alive business partner, watches him from the afterlife.
Based on the quote, '"How it is that I appear before you in a shape that you can see, I may not tell. I have sat invisible beside you many and many a day."
It was not an agreeable idea. Scrooge shivered, and wiped the
perspiration from his brow.'

Hello! This is my first book to ever write . Also I'm American and I might not do so well on how things work in London, I'll do my best tho! This isn't really like the movie, I'm not gonna go through all the stuff he went through with Past, Present, and Future because we all know the story already after watching it like 10x...I mean once... but there will be scenes from the movie, but they will be scattered throughout the story, it's not gonna be in order of time. I just wanted to fix a bit in my point of view, I hope y'all enjoy!
Info:
Y/n can be any reasonable age, I'll make Scrooge around 50 since that's what everyone is aiming for, for his age.
Y/n decided to move into London because she wanted to start fresh. Though at the moment she is struggling with finding a job in order to rent a place to stay. During her job search she bumped into a young man named "Bob Cratchit" who helped her get a job he's working at. Though let's say his boss isn't a nice fellow in town... but quite handsome for someone his age. She figure out that her boss was probably miserable and wants to change his life, to become more positive. Though you cant change someone for who they are...
