I know in advance that I will not win and/or place in this particular Trifecta Writing Challenge because of the political [or religious] incorrectness of my response, but I'll give it a go, nonetheless:
This week’s Trifextra challenge is simple, but ambiguous.
Three truths and a lie.
33 to 333 words.
Bring it.
Three truths and a lie.
Fair enough.
Utilizing only the minimum requisite of 33 words, here are my thoughts:
Truth One: In difficulty, we should pray to God.
Truth Two: We need only the faith of a mustard seed.
Truth Three: God will answer that sincere prayer.
Lie: God will answer it.

I'm following your blog! hope you will do the same!:)
Minimalism, indeed. I like the parallel between the lie and last truth. It leaves a jolt and makes you really think about it.
ReplyDeleteHey Cip! I like it. It's very real. Truth is beauty and beauty is truth. ;)
ReplyDeleteOh, I enjoyed this one. Nicely done. Another truth/not truth.
ReplyDeleteI laughed at your comment about not placing because of the content. I also have a religious one that I may post - I had the exact same thought!
ReplyDeleteI think prayers are answered, but not always with the answer I'd like :)
I have never known the editors to reject something because of its political or religious content. I'm pretty sure that Scriptor Obscura has won or placed with a holocaust themed piece that focused specifically on the clash between Catholicism and Judaism.
ReplyDeleteI also loved that the lie was that the prayers would be answered.
You don’t always write to win – you write because you’re inspired and you want to tell your truth.
ReplyDelete(Good one.)
Yep, Jester is right, we never preclude a piece because of its content. In fact, I like this piece a lot. It challenges a common perception and while not everyone reading will agree with you, it will certainly be food for thought for all.
