Nice job, Siniri! I'm impressed.

now - New Occasion Wonder

Whew. Thanks for sparing me the "ment." My goal is to end it with a long word; no more easy words like now!

Wonder: Wow! One's not dreaming, earth resplendent!

New word: resplendent.

You're welcome. I will not restrain myself so much in the future ;)
For what it's worth, "now" was not so easy...

Threshold: The house's regal entryway showcases her opulent louvered door.

New word: door.

You're right, Blue, the short words can be tougher. You just did such a great job with "now" that you made it look easy.

ETA: Strangely, when I looked at pages 2 and 3 of this thread, I saw one of my posts as the last one of page 2, and my next post as the first of page 3; your "now" post appears to be invisible (no pun intended). However, when I hit reply, it showed up between the two in the list of previous messages. It's very strange.

Door - Demarcation Onto One's Reality

New word: reality

Something strange is happening with posts on this thread. My last reply did not show up as a new post. The board showed your post as the most recent until I deleted the post and submitted a new one. Strange, indeed.

Reality: Realizing existences are liquid, I transcend youth.

New word: youth.

(yes, I refrained from going with "youthfulness," though if you'd prefer, feel free...)

ETA: Hmm, at least your two most recent posts are showing up. Were you temporarily zapped ghost by the lab ray? (Wow, I never thought I'd stoop so low to make a joke.)

youth(fulness) - Young Organs, Unlimited Time. However, Finality Unfurling. Longevity Not Eternally Self Sustaining

Actually, I think I was zapped into a pile of soot.

Wow. Zap me impressed.

Self-sustaining: Stupendous ego lets fools swell up self, turning against interdependence, necessitating independent natural growth.

New word: growth.

Hormones: Human's organic, roaming molecules: organs need endocrine signals.

New word: signals.

(It's sad that this is the most use I've put that biochemistry degree to in several years.)
