Microfiction Monday #69, "The Beast"

Photo Courtesy of Micro-fiction Monday
Does the "Beast" live here, is that Cogsworth?"
Spitting at the old lady, her brother sneered "Yes, & that's Belle."
He lived to regret it.

I found this one was really hard to write - and you might only get it if you now the story of "The Beauty & the Beast" real well.  An enchantress disguised herself as an old beggar woman and asked a prince to help her.  He didn't and she turned him into the "Beast".

It amazes me how we can all travel the world and inspire each other while sitting at our computers! Thank you for taking time out for my blog and enjoying it.

My daughter used to audtion for musical theatre and Belle's song was one of my favourites.

Great wordplay to the photo -- I'll have to try this sometime -- sounds daunting!

M.L. - you would be wonderful at this, I'm sure of it. "B & the B" is wonderful. We also have a soft spot for Disney's "Hunchback" - the music is so emotional and beautiful.
