Akaky Akakievich Bashmachkin Timeline and Summary

Akaky is born sometime long ago in St. Petersburg to a mother who is really bad at choosing names. He knows from birth that he is going to be a low-ranking official. Dream big.
One day Akaky realizes that his coat is getting worn out and he takes it to Petrovich, the tailor.
Akaky hopes that Petrovich can just patch his coat and so he can get on with his life, but Petrovich insists that he needs a brand-new coat.
When Akaky finally gives in to Petrovich, he becomes infatuated with the idea of his new coat.
The day the coat arrives is the best day of Akaky's life. He shows off the coat and everyone at his job invites him to a party in honor of his swanky new threads.
The party is off the chain, but Akaky is more of a wallflower. He gets awkward and leaves at midnight, even though the party is just getting started.
On the way back home, Akaky gets mugged. They take his prized possession: the coat.
Akaky tries to get help finding his coat, but he has no luck. Finally he goes to the prominent personage and is so disheartened that he walks home without wearing any coat at all.
Walking home in St. Petersburg without a coat is a bad idea, and Akaky develops an illness that kills him in two days.
Akaky the Un-Friendly Ghost terrorizes the town by pulling off everyone's coats.
When he finally pulls off the coat that belongs to the prominent personage, Akaky is satisfied. We never see his ghost again.
