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! 🙂

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!
April 4, 2015 7:47 am|
Who was that beast? Certainly scary.
April 4, 2015 8:10 am|
Disappointment at dreams not getting translated to reality!! Nice one 🙂
April 4, 2015 9:35 am|
Maybe some guy escaped from prison and she saw his hideous face, but nothing in the newspapers.. disappointing.. The story doesnt disappoint though.
April 4, 2015 9:52 am|
Nightmares do that to us, glad it wasn’t real. Great story, Shilpa
April 4, 2015 10:01 am|
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.
April 4, 2015 10:20 am|
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 ? 😯
April 4, 2015 10:54 am|
Too scary. Who was this beast? Hopefully only her imagination.
April 4, 2015 11:02 am|
Who was he? Nightmare? God, I hope I don’t see him!
April 4, 2015 11:24 am|
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. 🙂
April 4, 2015 11:53 am|
Oh that was scary…Wonder what happened next..
April 4, 2015 11:56 am|
Why do I get the feeling that it was a werewolf?! 😀
April 4, 2015 2:34 pm|
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?
April 4, 2015 3:18 pm|
But who was he?
April 4, 2015 3:30 pm|
Ouuuu that was creepy.. Wonder who he was..
April 4, 2015 4:15 pm|
Disappointment on not reading the news about the beast? Maybe she dreamed of it 🙂
April 4, 2015 9:07 pm|
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.
April 4, 2015 9:09 pm|
Sorry I scared you, I wont do it again! Great little flash once again.
April 4, 2015 9:20 pm|
Racoons are scary like that! 😉
April 4, 2015 11:58 pm|
Seriously … what was the beast? 🙂 You left me wanting more.
April 5, 2015 2:58 am|
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
April 5, 2015 12:03 pm|
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.
April 5, 2015 4:26 pm|
Now that’s scary… sometimes I wonder if beasts are real… just invisible 😛
April 5, 2015 8:19 pm|
If that “beast” was Jacob Black in his wolf form, then I’m not disappointed 😛
April 5, 2015 8:34 pm|
Some creepy beast that was!
April 6, 2015 4:04 pm|
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!
April 7, 2015 3:49 pm|
This was scary, but it could have been a naughty monster as well :-))
