Haunted

Abandoned. You can imagine the opulence, even as you take in the decay time has wrought on these places, once vibrant with lives being lived.

 

Someone slept in this bed. Someone who has long since passed away. There's his jacket, left behind as a reminder of its former owner.

You Can Almost See the Bellhop

Can you hear them? The people who ran the hotel? Those who stayed there, loved there, died there?

I can. Just on the edge of hearing. The bell, summoning the bellhop, a crisp, no-nonsense voice saying, "Service, please."

The slightly tipsy giggle of a woman coming from the bar. The laughter of children. The muffled moans of the lovers. The sobbing of the abandoned and betrayed.

The occasional gunshot...
