Detective

The Grammar Ghoul Press has asked writers this week, in exactly 39 words, to write a story
or poem using

 Trenchant:

1 : keen, sharp

Trace:

a path, trail, or road made by the passage of animals, people; also : footprint

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The downpour had washed away clues that ordinary mortals

could perceive.

But Nature has a way of preserving the inevitable,

a trace.

Feluda's trenchant pupils scanned the wet ground. 

Confession spouted from gardener's limp.

Buried weapon unearthed the murderer.
