Something woke me up. Cautiously, I peered outside.
In a flash, he came out of the shadow to reveal his hideous face.
Our eyes met… his full of challenge and mine filled with fear.
Next moment – he’s gone.
I checked the early morning news.
There wasn’t any mention of the beast from last night!
Join me in enjoying reading the blog from fellow A to Zer… Debbie D, today! Do share some blog love with her too!

Woah! What kind of beast he was? 😯
Yes when you witness something unexpected and feel something bad might have happened, and hear no news about it, that too leads to dissapointment. All the best Shilpa for A to Z Challenge… Your posts are like always fresh and different! 🙂
enjoyed thank you Shilpa 😈 😈
Who was he?? 😮

Love the flash fiction!

Oh those naughty words…
Maybe it was a spy, and his agency covered it up. 😉 The same kind of thing happened in the movie, ‘Jumpin’ Jack Flash’, which I thoroughly enjoyed. :O)
As long as he is not in a 100 mile radius of me, I wouldn’t be concerned about his whereabouts 😛

your posts are very evocative and have interesting twists but I was disappointed in the bitter feelings at letter B. I hope there will be a happy resolution.
Disappointment is definitely a beast!
Congrats on making it through the first week, oh wHooligan!

Damn…it’s disappointing not knowing who or what the beast was!
Who was that beast? Certainly scary.
Disappointment at dreams not getting translated to reality!! Nice one 🙂
Maybe some guy escaped from prison and she saw his hideous face, but nothing in the newspapers.. disappointing.. The story doesnt disappoint though.
Nightmares do that to us, glad it wasn’t real. Great story, Shilpa
Scary! No wonder she wanted was disappointed not seeing about that hideous face in the newspaper. I wouldn’t want to see the mystery face appearing out of shadows again. Good one, Shilpa.
Oh ! Could that have been a dream ? 😐
I feel disappointment and fear that the beast wasn’t mentioned on the next day. Is he still lurking around ? 😯
Too scary. Who was this beast? Hopefully only her imagination.
Who was he? Nightmare? God, I hope I don’t see him!
Hmm. Yes. I can see why it’d be disappointing too. Maybe she hoped the news might solve the mystery of the beast and set her heart at some ease. 🙂
Oh that was scary…Wonder what happened next..
Why do I get the feeling that it was a werewolf?! 😀
I bet she was all twisted up inside for news of ‘the beast’, wanting someone else to have experienced it too – her disappointment must have been palpable.

Spooky! Who was this beast?
But who was he?
Ouuuu that was creepy.. Wonder who he was..
Disappointment on not reading the news about the beast? Maybe she dreamed of it 🙂
And that’s why I can’t watch horror movies -I’ll see these beasts everywhere.
Nice one, Shilpa. But who/what was the beast?? Do tell.
Sorry I scared you, I wont do it again! Great little flash once again.
Racoons are scary like that! 😉
Seriously … what was the beast? 🙂 You left me wanting more.
Beast? What did he look like? What was he? I need more info on this beast! 😉

What was the beast? Not a raccoon as they aren’t hideous, are they?! 😉 <3
p.s. Oh and BTW, I am Disappointed not to know and it seems I am not the only one! 😉 I think you need to post answers as a postlude to A to Z Shilpa! Just a thought! 😉 <3
Woh kaun Tha?
You have entwined 55 fiction to this AtoZ challenge.Right? Clever, Clever.
Now that’s scary… sometimes I wonder if beasts are real… just invisible 😛
If that “beast” was Jacob Black in his wolf form, then I’m not disappointed 😛
Some creepy beast that was!
did she do something that she expected to read about that in the papers next morning…? I kind of love how the endings leave so much to individual imagination!
This was scary, but it could have been a naughty monster as well :-))
