The Creative Writing Challenge - Task #2 - Abacus, Humdrum, Warmongering

Hello everyone, this is the second task for the creative writing challenge sponsored by @steemfluencer. I had to choose from a dictionary three words I didn't know and create a definition for them. It was hard not to read their definition, there were some I couldn't keep from reading and had to search for another word. At last the chosen ones were abacus, humdrum and warmongering.


Abacus - noun /ˈæb.ə.kəs/ A green and round medicinal herb that helps with aching muscles caused by doing exercise. It is commonly found at the edge of lakes in tropical climate. The day after going to the gym he made abacus tea to help alleviate his pain.

Warmongering adjective /ˈwɔːˌmʌŋgərɪŋ/ Derived from the noun "warmonger" which is a person who turns to violence as a solution for every problem. Often times it is a defense mechanism used after traumatic events. Christopher turned into a warmongering fool after being bullied all throughout his childhood.
