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... 🙂

SMOKE - Tobias Jensen’s face was convulsed with rage and an emptiness of empathy as he poured uneven slurps of petrol over the floor of the kitchen, living room, the hall just outside the bedrooms, and then he took the box of matches from his pocket; this would be the end, all of it gone up in flames and twisted grief and destruction.

DESTRUCTION - Storms and high winds cause a devistating amount of destruction and my heart goes out to all those who find themselves needing to rebuild after such tragedy.

AFTER - The heavily-made-up 50-something woman lurched unsteadily in her stilettos as she shrieked unintelligible nonsense at the arresting officers; the desk sergeant said dryly, “Seven priors for solicitation, two for possession, one prior for handling stolen goods…”

STILETTOS - When I was young I walked around all day in high heels, but now I am of a more mature age I am much more comfortable in flats, and feel quite insecure when I wear shoes with even a small heel.

INSECURE - Some people living alone feel afraid so they may get a dog for both company and as a sence of security and companionship

COMPANIONSHIP - He used to climb to the top of the mountain first thing in the morning to meditate in solitude.

CLIMB - The young woman gazed into the eyes of the mysterious stranger, and felt herself fall headlong into infatuation with him as he smiled whimsically at her.

INFATUATION - The mysterious stranger, while appreciating the womans beauty, felt a subconcsious dislike for her, but had no idea why
