3WW CCLXXI

Each week, I post three words.

You write something using the words.

Then come back and post a link to the contribution with Mr. Linky (but please, link to the exact post, not your blog, by clicking on the exact post title and paste it to Mr. Linky below). As  always, there's no hard-and-fast rule that you have to post on Wednesday.

But I invite everyone to check back often to read and  comment on other contributions. This is, after all, a community for writers who clamor for feedback.

(Thank you, all, who have inquired 'Where the Hell is ThomG?' Here, low-profile, working too many hours and trying - desperately - to write clean fiction. For me. And you.) 

This week's words:

Dampen; verb: Make slightly wet; make less strong or intense; reduce in amplitude. 

Keep; verb: Have or retain possession of; put or store in a regular place; continue or cause to continue in a specified condition, position, course, etc.; continue doing or do repeatedly or habitually; provide for the sustenance of (someone); honor or fulfill; make written entries in (a diary) on a regular basis; noun: Food, clothes, and other essentials for living.

Tremble; verb: Shake involuntarily, typically as a result of anxiety, excitement, or frailty; be in a state of extreme apprehension; shake or quiver slightly; noun: A trembling feeling, movement, or sound.
