Antepenultimate
The game would end with an incredible diving catch by the rookie left fielder, launching one of the best fielding careers in history. The second to last out of the game was also quite extraordinary - a would be home run smacks a bird and falls into the outfielder's glove. But it is the antepenultimate play of this game that concerns me. The third from the last. That's where I come in.

Douce
For most of the year, the neighborhood remains a lonely, douce village. But on the Holiday, the tranquility is set aside. The streets are filled with revelers, the town crawls with visitors.

Decathect
Jerry's problem was his extreme and unfaltering devotion. He still treated the island like it was his forever. Even though it was about to sink under the ocean and disappear into the folds of the Earth, he refused to come to terms. He could not decathect. When the island finally dropped under, it was going to devastate him.

Adiaphorous
The natives of the island let the vagrant remain on the far eastern edge of forest. Being deemed an adiaphorous entity, he presented no threat.

Moor
It's been nearly a week we've spent out here, floating. Adrift, underneath the sky, and aimless. This is the time when you come along, and give us a purpose. Soon, we find the shore and moor the boat. It's not going anywhere and we're back among civilization.

Mulligrubs
This endless rain and bleak sky have inflicted me with a case if the mulligrubs.
Peeking out the front door, Simon tried to be cheerful, but he was deep in the mulligrubs at the time, and nothing short of a miracle would snap him out of the funk.

Anopisthograph
44 days passed, stuck inside the library room alcove. The disaster had ruined the entire city, and I was stuck in the jail cell sized room filled with paper. I documented my experiences in an anopisthograph - the paper was rather thin, and my writing utensil was a pretty thick marker, so the back of the paper wasn't really usable after the front was filled.

Erinaceous
Although Sonic The Hedgehog was billed as an actual hedgehog, he really resembled one in only a few minor ways. The truth is, he was an erinaceous creature, but certainly not a true hedgehog.

Pontificate
We're stuck in this room for hours. I think I'd be able to handle it if it weren't for Jack's tendency to pontificate every time a thought enters his mind. I'm forced to listen to his whole diatribe, and all I want to do is sew his mouth shut.

Effervescent
I know the Commandments forbid jealously, but.... I am very jealous of the men and women who can get under 5 hours of sleep and still be effervescent the entirety of the day.

Alexipharmic
I didn't notice when the dastardly traitor across the table slipped the poison into my drink. Thankfully, he wasn't aware that I had ingested the alexipharmic herbs just an hour before. Checkmate.
