Jack Skellington returns to Gracey Manor

Jack in the Spiral Hill Graveyard

It was nearly dark in the Spiral Hill Graveyard.

The skeleton sat on top of the Spiral Hill. Jack Skellington laments over last night's scary dream. The Pumpkin King looks at the Hinterlands' entrance. It was only a week since Sally thought of a walk. In the terrifying woods.

Thing was stalking Jack all day. The moving hand hid itself behind a tombstone. Thing was watching.

The Pumpkin King sighed heavily. Jack was talking to himself. At the moonrise. "This day is really not what I expect to have...Madame Bovary can't help me contact Leota...Gomez's Zen Yogi didn't help forget my only issue...Violence with Fester doesn't solve my dilemma at all...My dearest friend once told me...'It would not go away unless I do something about it'...She was right....Sally was not ever wrong...Call me foolish if you will..." The Pumpkin King stands up. He stood on top of the Spiral Hill. The sky got darker. The full moon risen into the spot.

Jack felt a change of what others expect best for him. They do not want the Pumpkin King to break the Gracey Manor curse. The Addams and citizens of Halloween Town feared of serious risk. Jack turned his lamentation into resoluteness. The Pumpkin King was done delaying for being careful. His mind was made up. Jack ultimately uttered. "I am going back to Gracey Manor. I am the Pumpkin King! I will not rest in peace until that Haunted Mansion curse was broken. And no one is going to tell me otherwise. Period!"

The disembodied hand went quivering. Thing do not like the concept of it.

The Spiral Hill unswirls the curl into a down hill. Jack Skellington hastily sprints off. The disembodied hand traces him rapidly like a tarantula would. They both disappeared into the horrifying forest.

It's going to be interesting to see what happens next. Next part soon! Don't worry!
