He Thought He Was Alone But...
An Abecedarian Poem
Albert was all alone in his office feeling
Bitter. He was working late. Suddenly, he heard a
Creepy voice call out his name. It scared the
Daylights out of him so he ran towards the
Elevator only to realise it was out of order.
"Fudge!" he swore as he walked back to his office and
Gulped some water when a menacing laugh made the
Hair on the back of his neck stand up. He
Immediately ran out of his office and saw
Jack staring at him. That was impossible because he
Knew he was all alone but there was Jack
Looking as pale as a ghost. "Jack?" he called. Jack
Mumbled something and approached him slowly.
"No, you're not Jack! Stay away from me!" and
Off he ran towards the emergency stairs. Although he
Prayed to escape this nightmare, that didn't
Quite happen. Jack managed to catch him
Right before he reached the
Stairs. Jack inserted his fangs into his neck where it left
Two punctures after Jack drank his blood. Now he
Understood that Jack is actually a
Vampire. He was even more horrified
When Jack cracked his skull which seemed glued together by
Xanthan gum. Jack has been
Yearning for brains. Jack is a hybrid of a vampire and a
Zombie.

The Gen Z Entrepreneurial Revolution
It is hardly debatable that the world has always been run by a bunch of aging dinosaurs, mostly male, who refuse to allow the younger generation to bring about changes. Politicians and leaders everywhere refuse to release the reigns of creativity and leadership until they are dead or dying. It is time to give the young a chance to revolutionize and change the entire landscape of their existence. Those of us with one foot in the grave, so to speak, should wake up and realize that we are not the ones who will be living in the world in the years to come.

Wow! Great work! ❤️💕💙
I didn't see that coming! GREAT concept! Poor Albert, but at least it all worked out in the end for Jack! I love stories where I can enjoy rooting for the villain. 😉
This was fun, I’ve never written an abecedarian poem but now I want to!
D, this was a great abecedarian poem! I love gory and unexpected story it told, about a vampire- zombie hybrid! Great stuff! 💖
Haha, this was fun! Cool to see the story unfold as it did. The speaker has an almost ghost-story-round-a-campfire voice, which I very much enjoyed
Very cool- I had not heard of this type of poem before- thank you for sharing!
haha. this is great. Well done.
Well done! That was very suspenseful.
How suspenseful and creative!
Thank you for the chuckles! It was a nice poem!
I loved this and the suspense was great!
At the end of the line starting Jack, should there be a 'he' at the end?
An interesting poem, if a little ghoulish.
THIS IS TOO DANG GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!! I ACTUALLY LAUGHED! Excellent! I don't think I could have done that, but now I'm honestly interested in trying! Would you proofread it if I did???
Very clever my friend.
It was interesting. Liked it.
This is fabulous i I’ve it
The Abecedarian Poem is always a great fun challenge. Well done
Xanthan gum, huh? Clever! Lol Fun read!
Fantastic!!💖😊💕
I like vampire 🧛🏿♀️ stories so this was really cool. It was cute and funny and creative. I love most how you made a story from the poem.
Great use of the alphabet here. Ingeniously written. Brilliant.
