I do not own The Nightmare Before Christmas.
It was Christmas Eve and we were searching for the fake Santa Clause. The station has received so many calls about demon toys and when they shot the imposter down, he crashed into the cemetery. My partner and I were supposed to get the body because no one could survive that crash. The people said that it was a skeleton but I know they do not exist.
When we arrived and saw the person, we were surprised. It was a skeleton but he was missing his bottom jaw. He was lying on an angel statue. Then a ghost dog with a red nose carried its jaw. It placed the bone on the skeleton and the skeleton moved and reattached it. he sat up and started to sing mournfully.
"What have I done?
What have I done?
How could I be so blind?
All is lost, where was I?
Spoiled all, spoiled all
Everything's gone all wrong" it sang.
We just stood there speechless and unsure of what to do. Not only did skeletons have the ability to talk and move but he somehow took control of Christmas. He continued to sing.
"What have I done?
What have I done?
Find a deep cave to hide in
In a million years they'll find me
Only dust and a plaque
That reads, "Here Lies Poor Old Jack"
As he finished this, he lay back down on the statue and went limp. He was obviously upset that he did this. He could possibly not have known what would happen. Why am I feeling sorry for a skeleton? I thought.
"But I never intended all this madness, never
And nobody really understood, how could they?
That all I ever wanted was to bring them something great
Why does nothing ever turn out like it should?" jack continued.
His voice was growing angrier and apparently, he did not mean to do this. He sat on the statue with his head rested on his hand and then he stood up on the statue.
"Well, what the heck, I went and did my best
And, my God, I really tasted something swell, that's right
And for a moment, why, I even touched the sky
And at least I left some stories they can tell, I did"
He had jumped off the statue and continued.
"And for the first time since I don't remember when
I felt just like my old bony self again
And I, Jack, the Pumpkin King
That's right, I am the Pumpkin King, ha, ha, ha" he sang.
When he said he was the pumpkin king he ripped off the torn red coat and revealed a black suit and he gave a laugh that chilled my bones.
"And I just can't wait until next Halloween
'Cause I've got some new ideas
that will really make them scream
And, my God I'm really gonna give it all my might
Uh oh, I hope there's still time to set things right
sandy Claws, hmm?" he finished.
He had danced around the graveyard happy again and then disappeared through an entrance below the statue. I turned to my partner and said.
"Why don't we keep this between ourselves?"
He nodded. Neither of us wanted to go to a mental hospital. I entered the graveyard and closed the entrance. On the way back to the station I wondered how I would explain what was there.
Hope you like it. I just love watching this around Halloween. Tell me what you think.
