Pairings: Jack Skellington/Sally
A pair of small black heels traced the side of the metallic floor
beneath her. A ragdoll sat on the mattress placed to the side of the
room. She was rather tall and wore a stitched, multicolored dress made
out of nothing but spare cloth. Her hair was made of red yarn and came
all the way to her lower black. Her skin consisted of blue cloth that
was stitched accordingly along her body. Long, black eyelashes were
attached to the ends of her eyelids and added a feminine touch to the
doll.
Sally Finklestein looks down and observes the nuts and
bolts mounted to the floor. Her room was fairly empty, save for a desk
that contained her sewing machine and a closet placed to the side filled
with her creations. A bright line shines through the bars placed on her
window and provides several rays of the pumpkin sun. She wished she
could feel the warmth from them like everyone else could.
She
turns to the window and watches the busy scene of the streets beneath
the tower. Many monsters and creatures walk on the sidewalks and on the
rhinestone paths. They varied from simple witches to grotesque beings.
They were all citizens of Halloween Town and were to fulfill their duty
of scaring the living.
From afar, Sally could spot the
Skellington Manor. The mansion towered over all of Halloween Town and
was the residency to the King. She had never set foot in the place but
could see the King’s observatory from her own window. Some nights she
would watch the tall man pace around in that room for hours. She had
little idea as to what he was doing in there. She assumed it was
important Kingly stuff or something of the matter.
