A New Species

A long those dark, dank corridors underneath the earth, an anomaly is growing. N ebulous in it's beginnings, an as yet unknown species prepares to arise E longated in it's skeletal structure, slight and slender, they slither about W ily in nature, these unique elusive creatures are prone to evade the light. S linking about at night with iridescent, bold bright eyes, they warily P eek and peer at people, pacing about in dark, dreary alleyways E xamining interactions, obsessed in their observations, in order to C onnect and draw upon human energy, like sophisticated sponges. I ntent on leeching the life force out of human beings, these humanoids wish to E merge and spike world leaders' drinks with explosive laxatives, thus S triking and stalling them on their "thrones", subsequently taking over our world!

very descriptive of this new species. and even more impressive, in acrostic form! Do you have a name for them?

I suppose this is describing (and well done) some fantastic serpent who, like the octopus, has a more brilliant mind than others of its kind, surpassing all that's been in a half a billion years. Yet it also perfectly describes an obsessive boss I once had.

Laura its an Acrostic, so dont isolate it, as it makes for uncomfortable reading, the write is good, lots of decent lines , however i was expecting a punchline, perhaps referring to poets, as the " new" species, this tended to bleed out in a fictionless way,.. leaving the reader asking " how do you know of this existence" if its light-hearted, add humour, if its intentionally dark,..add a twist.... all in all well written,
