Disclaimer- I don't own the Nightmare Before Christmas. If I did I'd be filthy rich and living in a mansion in California. That's not the case.
Chapter 1 Jack Must Burn!
Night in Halloween Town is no time to be out of the house. The streets are teeming with every sort of unsavory character. One of these unsavory characters was the son of the town hoodlum. His name was Iggie Boogie. He carried with him a can of gasoline and a book of matches. He walked toward a large, prominent mansion in town. This mansion belonged to King Jack Skellington, his lovely wife Sally, and their infant son, Owen.
"The son will avenge the demise of the father!" he said as he poured gasoline on the mansion. He lit a match and placed the lit tip against the gasoline-soaked area. The house went up in flames.
"Jack! Jack!" Sally gasped. She smelled the smoke. "The house is burning!"
Jack woke up and rubbed his eyes. "We gotta get out of here!" he gasped. "Go get Owen! We must get out or we'll burn to death!" Jack ran out of bed and down the steps of the mansion. A timber came loose from the ceiling of one of the lower floors. Jack ran into it and his head rolled away.
The fire at Jack's house triggered panic in the streets of Halloween Town. Every citizen, from the Corpse Family to the Undersea Gal woke up and ran to the flaming mansion.
"Is Jack gonna be safe?" the mayor said.
"I hope so!" The taller witch said.
"Look! I see something escape!" The devil said. He pointed to a woman and child escape from the inferno.
"Queen Sally!" A vampire said. "And Prince Owen!"
"What about the skinny thing?" The winged demon said.
The mayor walked forward to inspect it. He gasped in horror. It was Jack's headless body. "What happened to his head?"
A shocked silence came over the crowd. Then, Demon Harlequin spoke up. "The arsonist must've taken his head as some kind of trophy!"
"Now we don't have a king anymore!" the Corpse kid whined.
"Ahh, so sad!" a voice interrupted. The crowd was silent for a while more.
"Who said that?" The Undersea Gal said.
"I did!" the voice said again. A figure which looked like a smaller version of Oogie Boogie walked toward the crowd. "I am Iggie Boogie and I hereby claim this town as my own!"
Three children walked away from the wreckage. The only girl held a wooden box. "It's okay, Jack, you're safe with us!" she said.
"Shock, do you think this'll work?" the smaller of the two males said.
"Oh, I'm Sure, Barrel!" She said. The three continued to make their way to the rickety tree house.
So there ya have it, my friends! Chapter one of Skull Sagas.
Chapter two? Jack finally gets out of the box and meets his new caretakers.
And now for a segment I call "What am I doing right now".
Listening to- Dreams in Digital by Orgy
Drinking- Tea

Occupying myself with- looking at Ranga-Comic's DeviantArt Gallery (which in my opinion is really great and quite addicting)
Sayonara for now. (Goes off to get a pack of crackers)
