Change a letter change the World

[Scarlet Knight]

Well, it's cold at the rink.

[Tom the Mime]

A good think too, otherwise it would all turn to water and we'd sink

Also, we had an odd narrative going for the last 10 words - a couple were just finished sleeping together in their lair, before looking for government benefits only to discover the program had been privatised. They start to drink away their sorrows and in their inebriated state, they decide they may as well go for the worlds longest blink.

That ice may be the missing link.

Did you write this using Ink?

[paddyfool]

[Scarlet Knight]

It's Saturday; time for wine!

[animorte]

It's Saturday; time for wine!

I hope it’s with fish, you uncultured swine.

[Tom the Mime]

If it's not, are you going to take a swing at me.

[animorte]

That’s too mean and it would sting.

[Tom the Mime]

I guess they were drinking wine as they were sating their thirst.

Up to 6 letters now,

[paddyfool]

A common result of salting the food a lot.

Well I'm Halting the word growth

[JNAProductions]

Well I'm Halting the word growth

I’m hating that I’m continuing that trend.

[animorte]

I’m hating that I’m continuing that trend.

Don’t worry, I’m heating it up again.

[paddyfool]

I can go longer again, but I’m not sure if the person after me will be about to continue without cheating.

[Tom the Mime]

This isn't cheating, we're creating a nice chain here.

[animorte]

We’re treating with the respect it deserves.

[Rogan]

We’re treating with the respect it deserves.

I'm threating to to lose control here.

[paddyfool]

I’m fairly sure that’s not a real word, but I’m keen enough on threading together a chain that I’m not going to argue; I mean it could maybe be a vernacular version of threatening, right?

I could have swarm we'd done it before, but apparently I'm treading new ground.

I am relieved to be reading what is probably the only way out of where animorte put us three posts ago.

Thanks for cleaning up the mess I was dreading.

I'm still dreaming of the day we finesse our way off of this -ing track.

Showing suggested words for the next post, let alone the next 10 feels like it isn't in the spirit of this so I'm picking a different word, partially out of spite. Creaming

No need to take it to spite. I'm just trying to avoid us painting ourselves into a corner here.

[Dr.Gunsforhands]

I'm sure it was friendly spite. A lot of us just like Creating our own path, you know?

[paddyfool]

And some of us like cleating. (I was going to say creatine but I was worried it would be a dead end)

[Rogan]

And some of us like cleating. (I was going to say creatine but I was worried it would be a dead end)

I doubt anybody would have been bleating.

(Sorry about the last word from me. Playing word games in a non-native language is not trivial. And I thought I saw some mentions of it in a quick and dirty search)

[enq]

I'm still keen on beating the -ing out of our words.

[Personification]

It's ok. Our bloating language can be hard to navigate.
