If you have ever wondered: What about poor, old Jacob Marley?

This story is for you….

JACOB – A Denouement in One Act by Kimann Schultz, was first written in 2014, based on a poem of the same name. The first draft of JACOB was initially shared at Huffington Post in December 2017, in four consecutive posts – staves – beginning on St Nicholas Day and finalizing on Christmas Eve, with an alternate ending offered on New Year’s Eve.

JACOB travels over time & space, to sew up loose ends & answer questions about Ebenezer Scrooge’s erstwhile partner & ghostly visitor, serving as an homage to Charles Dickens & his beloved classic, A Christmas Carol

On this New Year’s eve, allow me to share an alternate ending to Jacob – A Denouement in One Act. Stave 1 can be read hereStave 2 can be read here. The original Stave Final can be read here.

While this story remains for anyone who may ever have wondered, “What about poor, old Jacob Marley?”, this “other” ending is for anyone who, like me, recognizes the parallels between Dickens’ masterpiece and Sci-Fi classics, where time travel and alternate universes are tapped and outcomes are explored, which cannot help but to illuminate possible, additional aspects to even such as the rest of this story. Thanks to the infinite realms that are our universe and the creativity we posses, everything remains forever possible

A Christmas Carol is an iconic ghost story and a Christmas story, but it could also be considered Science Fiction’s best-loved ancestor

I like to say: The Arts are a Bridge between Man and Mankind. May JACOB build and serve as a bridge as well
