A wild ride, Miguel, with an incredible amount of tension. The fourth floor - my wife is Chinese and has told me 4 is an unlucky number because the Chinese words for "four" and "death" are extremely similar.
I'm so stoked you noticed that!!!! The room number 13 was chosen because in western society it's considered an unlucky number and many hotels skip rooms number 13 on their floors, and the floor was chosen because it's considered unlucky in Asian countries! When we were in Japan there were no rooms with a number 4 in them on our floor. So the room number 13 on the 4th floor is a weird zone... you could maybe even call it a twilight zone 😏

Oh yeah, 13 was more obvious. And figured you were very intentional about 4 as well. I always love those little easter eggs. 🙂
Wicked. This made blood pour from my ears.
Man, I can’t stand people who are rude to customer service workers
Yup. Worked in the hotel industry for almost a decade. Most of it were positions around front office, so people like this were my bread and butter :)
You’re a Saint. I can’t do it. Also didn’t even say - fantastic job with the short lol
Haha hardly 😂 I enjoyed it but writing a story like this was a sweet payback 😂
Oh man, this was wild! Loved it. 🔥
Well that’s a huge honor to hear from you, sir!
Awesome story, Miguel! So happy you joined in on this fun! ❤️
I'm super honored you invited me 🥺
The first one I read. And what a treat! Loved it. Now I am eager to read more.
Haha! Glad you enjoyed it! It's a lot of reading to get through but worth it!
And the moral is: Don't be an asshole! Great job!
Exactly haha. As a former hotel worker I had fun writing this haha.
This was a great read. Enjoyed the tension and I really dislike Henry which means you did a great job writing his character. What an asshole 😤
I worked in the hotel industry for most of my adult life, so I had a lot of inspiration haha.
Very nice! That was a great tribute to the show and works really well... 😎👍
Thank you Chris!
Nice, it has the Twilight Zone feel to it. I like it.
Thank you! I'm glad I managed to evoke the original feeling :)
I can see that being an episode - you did well despite not having seen the programmes.!
Thank you Nick, that's very kind of you. I watched a couple of clips, and read about it a bit. So I'm glad I managed to do it justice :)
The room that never was. Clever. I enjoyed this!
Thank you!
