The Nightmare After Christmas
A Prelude to Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas
by Jack_Skellington182

Twas Not long ago since our story first began.
In this Town of Halloween Land.
Where Jack stopped Oogies Treacherous planes,
and his love for Sally first began
yet this did not stop Jack from being tired of Halloween Land.
He still found it quite boring and bland.

Jack missed the new feeling of Christmas He could not grasp,
“But WAIT there is more than one door” Jack said with a gasp.
Jack got up and started to walk towards the woods.
Where he would walk all day and all night
until he would get to the circle of trees
that would take him out of his hatred of Halloween.

He took a good look around at all the doors
and tried to pick one that he adored.
He stepped inside one shaped like an Egg
walked around to only see a statue of the one and only Easter Bunny
that was no Mistake.
“Where do I know his face”
said Jack feeling disgraced.
I have no choice but to find out about this ruler they call the Ester (a-steer) Bunny
so Jack went off only to find something funny.
A little bunny
sitting on a throne
only to see Jack
and jump into a hole,
and that’s when Jack remembered the cowered
when Lock Shock and Barrel almost got fired
for getting not Sandy
but none other than the Easter bunny.
“I’m sorry if you have been scared,
I’ll leave this Holiday as quick as A heir”
and Jack being true to his word left that holiday
and never returned.

Out of the tree Jack stepped
feeling glade nothing was wrecked.
Yet he still felt sad.
Looking for another door quick
he stepped into one that looked like a fat bird’s foot.
Down he fell downwards he spiraled towards what looked like sand
until he landed in St. Patrick’s land.
This Place was so green he could not see straight
and he thought to him self this will not be great
he tried to get back to Halloween
but couldn’t see and opened the door to Thanksgiving.

He found himself face down in the sand
of a land he did not understand.
He got up and looked around
and saw people with funny hats and buckles on.
One grabbed a gun
and that’s when Jack decided to run.
Up on the hill he ran and opened up a door that was pink,
and looked rather streaked.

He fell this time landing on his feet
and started to walk only to see red and Pink.
He looked past the hearts and cards.
And started to see little baby’s with what else on their chest but a tiny little heart.
And then he saw these babies have had weapons.
That’s when Jack said to him in a tone that was mean
“by god this is just like Halloween"
and that’s when Jack started to remembered
That he was the king of Halloween
He could make it scarier just as he foreseen
that he could still go back to his home
and forget about all these places that he roamed
he ran back to the trees past the sea or pink
and looked at all the door’s but couldn’t believe what he was seeing.
There was no Halloween door
only one shaped like a tree he stepped in side
and found it to be the last thing he wanted to see.

Jack was in Christmas land
there was no doubt about it.
Jack ran and ran but could not find the door
and at that moment he felt very poor.
He started to give up
as he rest his head back in the snow
only to look up and see a glowing little nose.
He noticed it was Zero
and without a hello he asked “Zero can you help me find my way home”
and with a bark
Zero guided Jacks way home in the dark.
Jack was now at the circle of trees
and walked back in to his beloved town of Halloween
where he would live in peace with out a tear in his eye.
At least until another holiday arrived.
