Here's a game I just thought of to put on the forums. You continue the story using the most broad vocabulary possible. You can use a dictionary to help if you want. This is a scam to broaden my vocabulary. ;) If the moderators feel this post will become a spam topic or already is, feel free to delete it. You can continue the story by only one sentance or by long posts if you wish. I'll start:

***
The warden glimpsed the bodice of the meretricious women as she ventured throughout the town. Apathy was unseen for he now loathed her with a vehemence. His wife was not within the haven of his estate. He became demented, and would show no altruism.

I watched, I lurked, I saw...
I laughed.

Sir, his definement suffers no perdition in you;
though, I know, to divide him inventorially would
dizzy the arithmetic of memory, and yet but yaw
neither, in respect of his quick sail. But, in the
verity of extolment, I take him to be a soul of
great article; and his infusion of such dearth and
rareness, as, to make true diction of him, his
semblable is his mirror; and who else would trace
him, his umbrage, nothing more.

(Hamlet, making fun of Osric :rolleyes: )
 

The warden's eyes widened in surprise as he heard the laughter, a sound that had been absent from his life for so long. He turned to see a young girl, no older than ten, standing behind him with a mischievous grin on her face. She seemed to radiate vivacity, a stark contrast to the warden's dark and brooding demeanor.
