A Zombie Holiday

“It’s the end of October time for vacation,” said Mr. Graveyard Zombie, “it’s been a long duration since we last went on a haunt across the nation, and what should be our final destination?” Replied Mrs. Zombie without any hesitation, “I’m sure I know the perfect location; back to the hood and haunt the next generation; for it is they who gave us a life of vexation, and this to be their consolation for it’s we who are cursed with eternal damnation.” October 25, 2017

Think I would come back and haunt the perishers that pestered me too but not in an evil way. Enjoyed reading your work John. Hugs, Emilia : )

I wrote this in about 15 minutes. There are over 5,000 words ending in 'tion' to rhyme; you could go on and on without running out of rhymes. The downside is all are multi-syllable so if you are counting syllables it makes it difficult.

Thank you, Kim, I'm glad you enjoyed it! I'm not sure if it is scary enough or has enough of a Halloween theme but it was fun to write.

Oh, that is GOOD work, John. Not so scary but very clever!! (are you a Walking Dead fan like me?)

Thanks, Andrea. Actually I’m not a big fan of horror shows, perhaps if I watched Walking Dead it might be more scary. My Halloween theme is not very strong either but it was a fun write. I hope everyone enjoys reading it.
