OOM: Ghosts of Christmas

[the_gene_genie]

There was nowhere else he could spend Christmas this year, even if it means he'll have to put up with the whole thing twice. It's been OK though. Alex is sad about Molly, of course, but seems to be happy he's here. They'd spent Christmas Eve lazing about, drinking quite a lot and putting everything behind them for a bit.

So it's a bit of a surprise to be woken up by a light in the room. A light where there shouldn't be one. Gene sits up, and runs a hand over his face. 

'Who're you, then? If you've come for an eyeful, you can sod off.'

Bloody Milliways.

"Someone has a high opinion of himself."

The young woman -- well, girl -- well, neither, really --

Anyway, the figure in the room, who is also the light in the room, comes three steps closer, and along the way, gets four inches taller and then seven inches shorter, her dark hair changing to gold and back.

"Hello, Gene.

"I am the Ghost of Christmas Past."
