Prompt #105

No entries this round so no points were awarded. Balamb G gets to keep the trophy for now.

This week's word prompt: #105 - Sublimated

When this word was first presented to me, I had to look at the definition just to make sure I understood it properly. My mind was not faulty and I thought of all the ways it could be used! I almost cackled with glee.

So, I will put the definition up and hopefully you creative people can let the muses hum and haw and run wild with it. Without further ado:
