Note: Finally, after procrastinating forever and ever, here is the prologue to What Was Your Past, Jack? ! Yay!
I don't own Nightmare Before Christmas, but I do own my brain, and that's where this idea came from. And note, parts of this are going to be in German, although I would have liked to find an online translator to translate into Hebrew for me, but I guess I'll have to settle for German. Enjoy! If you review, I'll tell you what the German parts mean!
Prologue: Das Ist, Wer Wir Sind, Ist Das, Wie Wir Leben (This Is Who We Are, This Is How We Live)
Das war vor langer Zeit
Länger, jetzt wo es scheint
In einem Platz werde ich mich immer in meinen Träumen erinnern
Für die Geschichte, die Sie vorhaben erzählt zu werden
Ist ebenso echt, und ebenso wahr wie die Knochen, die ich wirklich halte
Weil Sie mich meine Vergangenheit fragten, und Sie recieve
Aber warum Ihnen gerade erzählen? Sie verdienen zu sehen...
You know me as Jack Skellington, the Pumpkin King. You know me as someone who's just... always been there. I've always been the Pumpkin King, right?
Very wrong.
You asked me how I died. You asked me about my life as one of the mortal beings. Well, I don't usually do this, but you're an exception. I'll tell you. Listen up, now, because I'm only telling this story once. I already had to live through it, now you want me to relive it? Oh boy.
Hey! Stop looking the other way! I'm not telling this story for my health! That's better.
It was a long time ago
Longer now that it seems
In a place I will always remember in my dreams
For the story that you are about to be told
Is as real, and as true as the bones I do hold
For you asked me my past, and you shall recieve
But why just tell you? You deserve to see...
End of Prologue
Well, what do you think so far?
