Scrooge-&-Cratchit: Dragon Jar(s)

A Story by Abishai100
"

Morally frail capitalism-fatso Ebenezer Scrooge may find class, but not before his quiet skyscraper-clerk (Bob Cratchit) finds mice-for-witness, in this Dickens-tale adaptation.

Ambitious (and vain?) Mr. Ebenezer Scrooge had fast-become the Xmas-consumerism spirits visage of excellence in capitalism arms and cast his special Ford extension association company for great TV-languages as the Super Bowl TV-ad culture for the New Year stood in anticipations modes for audiences in the West (American Homeland)...Facebook-like.



BOB CRATCHIT (Clerk-Assistant to Scrooge): This skyscraper's Babel-symbol IQ.
SCROOGE: Out with his Bob...you have some ad-revenue grudge for fortunes.
BOB: Well, me thinks flowering my own family-wealth alongside you is Hell.
SCROOGE: Me thinks you make light of the density of capitalism's worry, sir.
BOB: You're my boss and the sir for me...I only wonder if I'm just a doll-IQ.
SCROOGE: If there's one thing I've learned about capitalism, it's quiet-arm.
BOB: I'll be walking around post-work tonight thinking of your skyscraper.
SCROOGE: You just might encounter a dragon with nihilist message, Bob.
BOB: I'll be fine, Scrooge (Facebook-like).



Scrooge was right, for Cratchit really was making light of having fortune image alongside his wealthy and triumphant Xmas-consumerism punctuated boss as the Super Bowl ad-culture languages for hyperbole fast approached in the American Homeland. As Bob wandered around brooding pensively/darkly about being a randomized fortunate profiteer in Scrooge's skyscraper, he was suddenly approached by the presence of a nihilist dragon-spirit who simply wished to inquire of Bob Cratchit's humble-sense of capitalism arms, given all this fortune-density self-consciousness 'IQ' for Earthling media (Facebook-like).



DRAGON: You seek to fly-away to Buffalo for family-escapism from vanity?
BOB CRATCHIT: I was merely complaining about the vanities of indulgences.
DRAGON: You worked quietly as a profiting skyscraper-assistant to Scrooge?
BOB CRATCHIT: I merely brooded privately about being Scrooge's doll, pal!
DRAGON: Well...maybe this escape-plan daydream to Buffalo-NY is Heaven?
BOB CRATCHIT: What do you want with a lowly-clerk to capitalism, dragon?
DRAGON: Maybe what I offer you is that solace for private-prayer imagery.
BOB CRATCHIT: What do you want?
DRAGON: I recommend you fly to Buffalo with family to find perfect peace.
BOB CRATCHIT: You imply my Catholic (American) faith invokes Selfie-love.
DRAGON: Fail to find your private Heaven and worry for capitalism pitfalls.
BOB CRATCHIT: Your dragon-dark message is one of self-imposed sadness.
DRAGON: Take heed my message, Bob...American Xmas-fortune is home.
BOB CRATCHIT: You conclude I make light of private luck and dismiss prayers?
DRAGON: I'm not wrong, Bob...find prayer and let Scrooge find jars.
BOB CRATCHIT: Maybe you're right (Selfie-like).



The irony of this faerie-tale of Xmas-capitalism incomplete-distances readings of the breadth/bridges of fortune and self-indulgences is that Bob Cratchit, the unlikely lowly-assistant/clerk of Scrooge, a fortunate/wealthy capitalism 'aficionado' had to find the right self-consciousness for spacing to allow the actual 'protagonists' of commerce life's ethics frailty to take the reins of any storyboard main-idea for improvements. You see, Bob Cratchit was in-position to find perfect private/space for quiet and humble economics-work for indulgences-threatened capitalism 'gods' like Ebenezer Scrooge would be moved to states of eternal jar shine (wow).



GRACE (Cratchit's Wife): Sad morning for New Year, '25, Bob darling.
CRATCHIT: I almost pitied myself too much for becoming Scrooge's doll, hon.
GRACE: Visiting this tombstone of my poor-cousin killed this Xmas is prayer!
CRATCHIT: We workers for capitalism's annals must find prayers for Hell.
GRACE: Maybe that dragon-specter instilled in you right-space for heroics!
CRATCHIT: Hopefully, the forces of eternity move to make Scrooge better.
GRACE: That just is truth with angels like you to pray for mortal-thoughts.
CRATCHIT: That's honest Catholic-lottery, hon (Selfie-like).



SCROOGE: This looks like bread-bowl cuisine fit for a NY-monarch, lady.
WAITRESS: You've the sound of a capitalism fatso who needs some love, hon.
SCROOGE: I've been divorced and I found wealth...all's I need is this plate.
WAITRESS: Damn...maybe you need to heed the aura of humble humans now.
SCROOGE: What, like my skyscraper-clerk assistant, quiet Bob Cratchit, hon?
WAITRESS: Maybe your 'friend' (Mr. Bob Cratchit) has found actual cool.
SCROOGE: This has the sound of some Catholic-omen, maybe cinema text.
WAITRESS: Hey, I'm just a messenger, a jewelry waitress (Facebook-like).
SCROOGE: Cool (Selfie-like).
