Transpose column into row based on the new line

I have file like this

d
e
e

s
k

a
b
c
d

I just need to convert then as like this

dee
sk
abcd

For this purpose I used awk and xargs

xargs < file|awk '{ gsub (" ", "", $0); print}'

But it is not generating results as expected

perl -l -00pe 'y/\n//d' file

-00 is similar to awk -v RS=
