크리스마스캐럴

It is Christmas Eve, and a self-assured man who has done well as a consultant hears from someone his wife used to date. The caller wants a meeting, because he longs to lie down as her husband in the bed she sleeps in. The narrator finds this juvenile, yet curiosity and a feeling of having lived it before pull him out into the snow. He treats the stranger like a candidate at an interview, until a ragged old man appears and his poise begins to crack.
