    About this ebook

    We get a brief peek into the complicated relationship between a small business owner, Scrumble Matthews, and his ---practically solitary--- employee, Bob Cricket. Bob is trying to get home early for New Year's Eve, but Matthews has extra work for him.

    As you can expect, Scrumble receives a visitation from a ghost. But so does Cricket, but Cricket gives the ghost a piece of his mind.

    After getting my postgraduate education at the University of Pittsburgh, I came to Lycoming College to teach mathematics. I host a weekly classical music show on WXPI Radio (88.5 FM in Williamsport) called Archie’s Archives. I’m interested in classical music, of course, and mathematics.
