    This is a game that also helps the way you write.  I will start it with giving the next person a topic in which to describe.  That person describes it and gives the next person the same.  For example:

    The old car.....

    next person might say " The antique porche with tinted windows and bad paint job."  Then give the next person from his answer,

    the antique

    Ok, I will start it off with " the little boy"

      The book's ink-blue covers were studded with golden sworls and stars, as if the witch from the story inside had cast her spell over the binding.

              The rarest tree in Brazil is the cow tree, so named because it's fruit has juice that looks like milk, allowing the monkeys to feed their babies this to suppliment the mothers milk.

            The look on the doctor's face varied between abject horror, befuddlement, curiosity, and wonder.  It was priceless.
