"Let's make sure that we are perfectly clear about the following statement: Unit 231dS7, also known as Marley, was dead. His primary memory core had burnt out and was not repairable, so 231dS7 had been disassembled. The recyclable parts had been returned to the factories for refurbishment and those parts that had made 231dS7 into Marley were destroyed.
In other words, Marley was dead.
He had been deceased for two thousand, five hundred and fifty-five days, thirteen hours and thirty-two minutes."
This short story is dedicated to Charles Dickens, naturally. He gave us so many wonderful tales and put a face on Christmas that has been told over and over again, yet that never gets old. My little tale here doesn't do the original justice, but it's written with appreciation for its originator, with joy for the Christmas season and with a sense of fun. I hope that you enjoy it!
