Bad Blood and Betrayal
Isabella and Ethan climbed on board his cabin cruiser that she discovered was named The Boozer Cruiser. Embarrassed by the bold black print of shame, Bella pulled her wide hat brim down to cover her face. She’d hate to be seen by the other women at the yacht club. The Tampa Bay area had many well-connected families, and to be seen as a party girl would be a crime.

Wow that was unexpected 😨
I'm learning to admire senryu here.
Ooooo!! So many twists in so few words, this felt sultry, dirty and then left me blow away!! Great work Cathy!!
Sensuous and terrifying, Cathy! First the lie and then the betrayal. Loved it!
You did the dang thing Cathy! This was phenomenal!
OH. I love how this is a short senryu to capture the brief, life-altering moment. Or is it....fetish? 🫣😅 This has the feels!
The knife is always present in every relationship. The only difference being on when it's used and by who. Loved your Senryu!
This felt so real I could almost feel the blade. Great writing.
OMG! Your Senryu might be twisted but captured raw truth!
I really wanted to write a Senryu but didn't try yet. Liked this Cathy.
arrggghh those fiendish lovers.
The bitterness of betrayal captured so succinctly! Well done, Cathy!
Fuck that hurts
What a great twist! I love how you used a short poem to tell a whole story.
