Beauty and the Beast
Beauty lies in the eye of the beholder
and so does horror.
I cannot see the life
beneath the form
but only the manner of beauty's death
At the hands of some beast.

The image was provided by Tess Kincaid for Magpie Tales 101. I wanted to run and hide from it but decided to embrace my horror.

A powerful view of the meaning of this week's prompt.
liked your take on this prompt..x
Yes, horror, sadly, too...
I think you could dispense with the "sadly" The implication in "horror" is surely strong enough.
Creepy!
