From Stave One
Marley was dead, to begin with.
Old Luna had never driven a nail into a door in its life. Its doors were rolled steel on pressure seals, and the founders who brought the saying up from Earth had brought it the way they brought their street names and their hymns, because it was theirs and nobody on the way up had thought to leave it behind. The wisdom of our ancestors is in the simile, and the Moon has not seen fit to disturb it. Marley, then, was as dead as a door-nail. This must be distinctly understood, or nothing wonderful can come of what follows.
After Charles Dickens, 1843
How it works
The book remembers.
You read it like a book, page by page. Five times on Christmas Eve the story stops and asks you to choose. Your choices carry forward, quietly, and change the night that follows. Between the pages you can step into Scrooge's chambers and look around; some of what you find there is only found by looking.
Stave One and the first choice are always free. During the Christmas offer the whole book is free, and anyone who claims it keeps it for good.
