Shame Rolled In Quickly...
<Senryu Challenge>
I fell backward fast...
Ruthless wig slid off my head...
Shame rolled in quickly...

The Road to Nowhere
Trigger warnings: Violence, Death. "May the Sun burn your tongue out, woman," Fredrick's father screamed the curse into his mother's ear as their elegant little carriage rumbled along, its polished wood and gilded trim glinting in the torchlight. They had just left the small village of Saffron and were on an unnamed road to the capital for the Royal wedding. Fredrick leaned back in his plush velvet seat to escape into the passing landscape, but across from him sat the servant boy, a scrappy lad named Jack. Jack's eyes held a mixture of awe and fear, the kind that only a commoner could feel in the presence of nobility. Jack looked up and caught Fredrick's gaze, offering him a sad little smile before reaching into his pocket and retrieving a little caramel treat. This candy was no doubt stolen from the kitchen treat cupboard; if he was caught with it, he would be locked in the box as punishment.

So sorry!😢❤️ This probably won't help... I used to joke about my wigs. I had only 3 of them. All different. People who knew I was bald under the wig would make comments like, "I love your hairdo. I would pull it off my head and offer it to them. Probably not very nice, but I would think of how not nice is was of them, knowing I was bald under that hairdo. I will still wear hair pieces as my hair is so thin, and I try to behave myself when I get a compliment!🤣🤣🤣
“Ruthless wig” lol! 😆
This is hillarious if a bit mortifying! Loved it!
Not just the fall, but the exposure!
Oh no!
Oh nooooo! I would have wished to just melt to the floor and die 🤣🤣🤣🤣
OMGOSH! This has happened to me! It's one thing when you're clearly in costume and people know it's a wig, but it's something else entirely when they think it's real! This short "piece" carries a big impact! Great job!
Ah very creative. Wig or no wig, still beautiful 💜♥️💜
🤣🤣🤣 Genius and definitely awkward.
👀😆♥️ am not Laughing😳🫢💭
Obviously you’re okay, is the wig okay 😂😂, love it my friend 😊😊
The wig stories are always hilarious. Mine never stays on, always slipping cause the strap won't sit still. This is such a darn great Senryu. Always the fun ones from over at Tiffany's. High five.
"Ruthless" fascinating choice of word. I used to have real wig fear when I used to wear one. This is so real!! ❤
love it! ❤️
Sorry!
Oops! Not a fun experience, I'm sure. Great entry, though!
That’s why I can never wear a wig. I remember this YouTube story, where the cops visit this lady door cause a neighbor saw hair hang out from her car truck, it was her new wig she just bought, the police office could not laughing . 😂
Funny. Not funny!!! Awesome Senryu!!!💕❤️❤️
So, so funny! I love it.
💗💗💗

Omg! Sorry, but I had to laugh. Great entry.
Oh no! 😩😩. Loved the “ruthless wig” description!
😂 Also, I love the title. In comparison to clouds rolling in. Clever work!
Oh no! Stupid wig needs to ‘get a grip’ - Nice one Tiffany!
