SUB: Exercise #196/yourname
Example: My two words are peace (good, soft, fuzzy) and backbone (bad, hard, strong). I combine them to make “backbone peace,” which I define as the peace that occurs after wartime has ravaged a country for many years. The locals don’t give up, and the aggressors finally quit for lack of funds or some other reason. A backbone peace is where the oppressed win from strength of will, not might. My SUB might be a tale taking place in such a village.
