Choose and Change (New Game)

Let's try this new game... 🙂

You have a word and have to write a sentence with an antonym of this word (it must not be a perfect antonym/opposite). The sentence must contain at least three other words (not including articles, pronouns etc.)

The next poster then chooses a word from the sentence of the previous poster (not the antonym, any other word) and builds a new sentence with the antonym of the word he or she has chosen.

For example:

START - She finished her delicious meal in no time.

The antonym of "start" is "finish/finished", so the next poster has to choose between "delicious", "meal" and "time" (the antonym can't be used) and has to write a sentence with the antonym of the chosen word and with at least three other nouns.

Let's get started... 🙂

FASCINATION - I decided when I was eight years old that boredom could be eliminated by having the right attitude.

(So… boredom is the antonym to fascination…)

NEIGHBOURS - I once got my car stuck on a narrow pedestrian bridge, out in the wild wet muddy night in a strange remote area where I mistook a path for a road, and kindly strangers helped to manoeuvre the car off the mud-deep bridge and safely onto grass.
