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... 🙂

CRIMINAL--Years later, the young woman is still fighting for a legal separation from her illegal marriage.

[veiled-lady]

MARRIAGE - It had reached the stage that divorce appeared to be the only way to solve their problems.

STAGE - Thomas Metanthorpe jiggled uselessly at the screen door before giving it up as a bad job and trying yet again to reach his flatmate or the landlord for a spare key.

KEY - The key opened the lock that led to a secret passageway 

[countessalmirena]

SECRET - The complete published works of esteemed alternate history novelist J.X.W. Folderbeest are presented in a faux leather box set with gold trim.

FAUX - His heartfelt apology for his abysmal behaviour seemed genuine, so she forgave him once again.

ABYSMAL--Though, warm-hearted, with a superb sense of humor, he would come on like a slightly distressed hornet.

[countessalmirena]

HORNET - The newly married couple had a gorgeous butterfly release at their wedding, where the butterflies scattered out and upward in a great flurry of fiery harlequinesque colour.

[veiled-lady]

SCATTERED - The wonderful array of lights coalesced in a scintillating display of vibrant colour.

[countessalmirena]

DISPLAY - Emmeline Wattonburn dressed extremely modestly so as to conceal every inch of her figure; she had once been a nun, so they said, and had never learned that showing a bit of throat and ankle was not a deadly sin.
