I Know My ABC's

For our class in Comm3, our prof gave us this assignment: "Write a story with only 26 words, following the sequence of the alphabet i.e. the first word starts with the letter 'A', the second word 'B' and so on. This includes articles, prepositions, etc."

Now, I had quite a challenge with this one. In the end, I made it a story in poem form. After all, I don't recall her saying it had to be in prose form to begin with. My inspiration for this one, and the person I dedicate this poem too is my dear cousin, twink_chan. I love you! <3

Ancient Bells Chime.
Dust Excitedly Flees.
Ghosts Haunting In Jest
Know Life Moves Near.
One Princess Quietly Remembers
Someone Treasured Unceasingly.
Veneer Waning;
