Oh, goodness! I’m hanging on the words here.

very odd..lol. great description of the bear??
LoA

Strange.. But if it’s not a bear.. what exactly is it? This just begs for a sequel! Nice job.
LoA

Look out! Owlbear!

Great pacing for suspense in this one.

ok that just scared me…a lot. thanks a lot i was trying to sleep well tonight!!! lol

Sequel!!!

Just when I was waiting for the guy to start fumbling with the door knob as the bear reached for his girlfriend, the bear ends up having a break. One thing’s for sure: I can never predict where your stories will take me.

Of course, I meant beak. Not that the bear doesn’t need a break, it having a beak and all.

Creeeeeeeepy!—at first, and then the talking part… I don’t know where you are going with this but I want you to keep writing, please continue. Love it.

I love a good monster!

Will called it, and I’m seconding. Totally an owlbear. Maybe even an owlbear skeleton. Those things are damn nasty.

No, I’m pretty sure what he’s describing is a Duck-billed Platypus Bear from Avatar: The Last Airbender.

Hey, you watch that cartoon too!? I’ll have to give a clearer description in a sequel, since I did have a particular image in mind. Thanks for all the great comments guys!
LoA

A bear with a beak? Really?

Great job with the suspense!

That was such a great, unexpected twist. I thought she was gonna say something like “The bear would come in anyway.” But that ?! I have to read the sequel now.

It coulda been an Avatar character! I love that show!
LoA

Yep, pretty unexpected alright….great way to leave us hanging, really makes people want to read more!

Loved the beak on the bear. This story definitely bears following (heh – excuse the pun)
