Questioning

Trifecta gave us an interesting weekend challenge this weekend.  Using only 33 words, write a piece using the words water, ring and stage.  Here’s my entry.  As always, be sure to check out other uses of these 3 words in a 33-word piece.

It had a ring of truth.
The water stopped.
They walked away
Thinking they’d won.
He knew better.
He smiled,
Finding Triumph
Even in Defeat.
The lights dimmed.
The stage cleared.

Silence reigned.
