Horror hotel addendum

As an addendum to my last blog post.... If, after a week on a lovely vacation, you don't heed the advice in Observation #3 of that post and instead on the way back stop at the same seedy hotel with the dead-body smell and possible bullet hole (because you made prior reservations for a busy holiday weekend and have no place else to stay and you originally thought a name brand hotel would be fine), don't be surprised if upon check-in you find this in your shower:

Also don't be surprised if you stand on the couch to kill a bug on the wall and upon getting it in the paper towel you realize it is instead a tiny pebble that appears to be growing a single long golden hair.

And of course it will be dark because you discover when you get back to the room after dinner that most of the lights don't work.

The upside to all this is that the hotel is so horrifying you can't sleep as you imagine black slime creeping out of the shower and the wall growing hair, and so instead you find yourself writing a horror short story at 1:30 am.  I've been wanting to write a horror short story for a while now but never actually have before....  I even came up with the tag line for the movie poster.  So... Thanks, nightmare hotel?

So then, Observation/ Rule #3B: If you don't follow the advice in Observation #3, use your extra awake time in the dark wisely.  And look out for black mold slime.
