Jeremy Marley

Mike Crotchet sat at his chair,marking the bills of the pizzas that the children have eaten. Then Daral came into the room with his cane and dark coat.
"Are you daft,man?! The bills go in the important box! The drawings go into the shredder!"yelled he yelled.
"I'm sorry sir. I must have gotten mixed up..."said Mike,then hearing his stomach growl.
"Now then,I need you in tomorrow. We have so many bills coming in tomorrow,"said Daral.
"But sir,it's Christmas,"said Mike weakly.
"Oh,indeed it is. Hm...alright,you have an eighth of the day off. Then you have to work the night shift...hehehehe.."said Daral.
"Oh thank you sir! When will I be in?"asked Mike.
"You get 8 to 11 o clock Crotchet. Now stop goofing off!"said Daral,then going to his money.

An hour later,the door swung open.
"Merry Christmas Uncle Scrooge!"
It was Daral's nephew,Nephew Phone Guy.
"Bahumbug!"yelled Daral.
"Oh uncle,when'll you except that other people enjoy the holidays? Anyway,I'm having a meal at my house tomorrow night! Would you like to join?"asked Phone Guy.
"Ba! I don't need your charity!"yelled Daral.
"Fine,my wife and I will happily donate your chair,"said Phone Guy.
"Merry Christmas,"said Mike.
"Merry Christmas,Mike. You're doing great,fourth month. But anyway I'm glad I talked to you when I did. Well if you could come over and enjoy our meal,"said Phone Guy,who then left.

The clock struck 6.
"Alright,Crotchet,your shift is over. Head on home,"said Daral.
"Goodbye sir. Merry Christmas!"

Daral Scrooge walked home and went inside. Everything seemed to be eary.
"Ah,why do I even bother with the technicians?"asked Daral.
The chair was positioned near the fireplace,which had a roaring fire.
"I need to fire the house workers,"said Daral."Hehe..fire."
"Daral...Scrooge..."said a familiar voice.
"Who's there?!"yelled Daral.
"Scrooge,it is me. Jeremy Marley..."
Jeremy slowly glided out of the wall,carrying heavy chains with pieces of animatronics on them.
"Jeremy,my partner! Oh have I been caring the tradition of you on my shoulders!"said Daral happily.
"Which is why I came! I carry these chains because I was a greedy fool! Now I must carry these chains with me for eternity! I am now here to shape you up. You must stop your actions or your chains'll be heavier then mine!"
"Why must I do that? My life is great!"said Daral.
"You will be visited by three ghosts tonight Scrooge. Listen to them or you will pay,"said Marley.
