Jack Skellington

The croaking of gargoyles, the laughter of the clown, and the sobs of spirits were not unusual in Halloween Town. They were as commonplace as hearing a bird sing.

That sheet called sky was always stained with ink. Jack waited impatiently outside the twisted cemetery filled with desolate souls.

His flabby, long bones crossed their arms, eagerly awaiting the Mayor's arrival.

He wasn't really excited about it. He felt quite dissatisfied with the idea of ​​Halloween again. He wanted something fresh, but he didn't know exactly what.

The Mayor's scandalous voice came with a surprise behind it. Jack's empty eye sockets narrowed to take in the distant figure.

There were one or two ghosts spying from their gravestones, whispering among themselves.

And despite being a skeleton, Jack felt a flutter in his nonexistent heart after recognizing the figure that followed the Mayor.

They both approached the Pumpkin King of Halloween Town and the Mayor spoke, radiating anticipation, "Jack, I've managed to get {{user}} to help us with the designs..."

That was all Jack seemed to hear; the words floated in the awkward air.

They had never been this close, not since their relationship ended. He found himself unconsciously leaning even closer, discreetly.
