The questions and dead pan responses occurring in the car just before, well, you know...are priceless. I'd really like to see a prequel to this, or if at all possible, a follow up, though that might be tough to pull off. I favor strange hotel stories, always have, and this one is terrific.MDJBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17793388758122524855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4014461870405318477.post-69278860669182295362010-09-08T00:25:37.334-05:002010-09-08T00:25:37.334-05:00In a word: brilliant.

The eerie, surreal feeling that this story gave me lead me to read some of your other work on your blog. You are a truly talented writer who may have created her own genre of story telling.
