Choose and Change (New Game)

[papermoon.lady]

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... 🙂

FEAR - She regarded the terrifying gorge with insouciance, for her jetpack would make the leap across as easy as pie.

JETPACK - While the wonders of science and engineering have introduced many new modes of transport, I have always preferred train travel to air travel when possible

[veiled-lady]

SCIENCE - While she preferred to believe the science, her brother was completely the opposite, always entertaining the theories of every crackpot religion he encountered.

BELIEVE--There is no doubt that she loves him with all her heart

[countessalmirena]

HEART - The chance of finding a liver donor with her extremely rare blood type in time was very low.

[katistrophik]

RARE - Kindness should be a common thing, unkindness should be ignored

IGNORED - Although he was in the middle of his presentation, he acknowledged the entrance of the small group of latecomers.

LATECOMERS - “There is nothing more irritating,” muttered Amelia Devenish as her front door bell rang and the excited gabbling sound of those pesky Blairs pealed through the air, “than earlybirds who turn up before the canapés are ready.”

[veiled-lady]

CANAPÉS - He had eaten so much, but just had to find room to squeeze a little more into his stomach, as the desserts on offer looked absolutely delicious.

ABSOLUTELY - As I ran down the moonlit path along the top of the cliffs, I noted that my torch was flickering; the battery must be somewhat depleted.
