I yoinked this idea from a book called 'A book of surrealist games'. The basic idea is one person writes a sentence, preferably a sentence in which something happens, or someone does something. Then the next person writes a sentence in which the 'opposite' person does the 'opposite' thing. 'Opposite' can be completely subjective and by your personal association, e.g. water -> fire, love -> hate . . .

Just to make it clearer, an example would be:

The small dog licked the fallen ice cream.
The enormous lizard spat out a piece of brocolli.
. . .


So let's get this started - your first sentence is:

The lazy river flowed endlessly towards the sea.
she/her

The overproductive star remained frozen still at the peak of the mountain.
Pants are an illusion. And so is death.

The most important thing is to preserve the world we live in. Unless people understand and learn about our world, habitats, and animals, they won't understand that if we don't protect those habitats, we'll eventually destroy ourselves.
