Before Jack the Pumpkin King Was Himself

by StephanoRainbow

This short story is before Jack the Pumpkin was even a skeleton. I'm rating this K , but I must warn you, there's a few creepy parts...but there as creepy as the movie, so if you think Nightmare Before Christmas ISN'T scary, then this is okay to read.

Jack Abbot and Sally Lincoln were just two innocent people back, well way back then. Jack and Sally were boyfriend and girlfriend, and soon husband and wife. Jack proposed to Sally one day, and of corse, Sally said yes. Jack was very happy, he even skipped and sang all the way home. When he got to his little cottage, he heard a knock at his door. Jack opened the door and saw a monster.

"Why hello, friend! What can I do you for?" Yeah, Jack was so happy, he acted like that in front of a monster. Well, the monster ate everything on his body, except his skeleton.*shudder*Anyway, the monster, brought Jack's skeleton to his lair and did something with Jack's skeleton. Apparently he knows how to bring a skeleton alive. From that moment on, Jack was the monster's assistant.

Jack(Jack's skeleton)remembered everything except his life as a human. All Jack knew was that he is the monster's assistant. Jack and the monster terrorized the village. But, when Jack got to Sally, he just couldn't kill her and he didn't know why. Of corse, all Sally thought of Jack was a monster that was going to kill her. While Jack was thinking of why he couldn't kill her, Sally ran and hid. When everyone in the village except Sally was dead and turned into monsters(not all skeletons, though, in fact, Jack was the only skeleton), the monster said

"Jack, I'm proud of you. How would you like to become a king? I'll be mayor."

"Sure, that sounds great." Soon, they formed Halloween Town, and while one of the monsters were cleaning up Halloween Town, that monster found Sally. Sally was very freaked out to see so many monsters that she passed out. When she woke up, she saw she was tied up and dynamite was about to explode(one, I don't know how they got dynamite, so don't ask me, two, Jack doesn't know about this, this is the mayor's doing). Sally blew up into pieces. The mayor knew that Sally was distracting Jack, so he blew her up. A few months later, a mad scientist found Sally's body parts and made a new Sally. Of corse, you know where the story takes place from there.

The End
