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... 🙂

SMILE - The painter looked at his subject with increasing dismay, and said for the 73rd time, "Please, Mr Blecherboch, try to maintain a pleasant expression on your face" - but it really wasn't working; the man's corrupt soul was unmistakably shown in his face as he stretched his mouth and entire visage into a sneering snarl which would make the final painting a work of horror rather than of dignity.

HORROR - Young children have no filters, and it's wonderful to see the sheer delight on their faces when something pleases or astonishes them.

MUCK - He looked like a swamp monster after his inadvertent tumble into the weed-draped pool, so he wasted no time in diving into the shower, rinsing himself off as best he could, and then working the soap into a fine lather over every inch of skin until - at last! - the foul smell was gone and he was looking more human.

LOOKING - The young woman sat quietly at the table awaiting his arrival, when she saw him she was aware of a blinding light surrounding him that she was sure only she could see

QUIETLY - When he noticed how late the plane was, he started looking nervously at his watch every few minutes.

MINUTES - The solitary figure attired in rough brown wool and linen trudged slowly down the winding path, knowing there were many miles yet to go before he would reach the next village where he could expect to find some survivors from the plague.

PLAGUE - Hospital staff worked to exhaustion in a frenzied attemtp to isolate those patients who have been admitted with the disease for fear of starting an epidemic of great proportions.
