crucible
The 12 week boot camp required recruits to wake up at 4 a.m., run 8 miles a day, and live on only dried apricots and beef jerky. It was a
crucible
where they were tested both physically and mentally, but they knew that this training was the only hope of surviving the zombie hordes that drew closer every day.Slide3
trafficked
Lola was extraordinarily lucky and unusually smart to have avoided arrest for so long. She had been
trafficking
in illegal Nessie eggs for fifteen years before one of them hatched on the plane to Scotland and she was finally caught. Slide4
abomination
Lucius felt that the new generation of werewolves were an
abomination
. They refused to devour the local villagers, chaining themselves up during the full moon instead. Lucius believed this to be shameful, disgusting, and totally unnatural. Slide5
parish
Wallace looked blearily around at all the people in church. Everyone in the
parish
had lived there for years. Poor Wallace was new, and he was not used to the screams that erupted from the graveyard at night. Slide6
begrudge
Odessa
begrudgingly
gave Horace some garlic to ward off the vampires. She hated him, but she supposed she couldn’t let him become one of the undead. Slide7
deference
The
aliens
respected, and possibly feared, their commander. They showed great
deference
to anything he wanted, which made sense since he vaporized anyone who showed the slightest resistance. Slide8
providence
After escaping the from the horde of the
chupacabras
that had swarmed out of the forest, Lucy said a little prayer. She felt as though
providence
had led her to the unlocked car with keys still in the ignition that let her get away. Slide9
ail
“Ever since my encounter with Nessie, my leg
ails
me whenever it’s cold out,” said Grandpa, showing a large scar along his knee. Slide10
corroborate
Grandma
corroborated
Grandpa’s story about Nessie. She described the long-necked beast that had dragged him under the lake and only let go when he managed to stick it in the eye with his bagpipes. Slide11
contention
There was
contention
in the werewolf pack. Lucius and Hester both wanted to lead, and the whole pack had divided to take sides. Slide12
formidable
Dracula’s fortress was
formidable
. The walls were 20 feet high, topped with razor wire, and guarded by rabid bobcats. It seemed impossible that anyone could get in…or out. Slide13
conjure
The house is haunted because the last owners liked to
conjure
spirits in the basement. Slide14
reckoning
The owners met their
reckoning
one night when they accidentally called up the devil. Now their spirits haunt the house, too. Slide15
prodigious
The beast arose from the swamp, and it was
prodigious
. It was wider than the truck, and it towered above the campers cowering before it.Slide16
afflicted
After Odessa changed her mind and took back Horace’s garlic, she was
afflicted
by guilt.
