Hotel California

Hotel California : Attempt 1

Hotel California

It was 1976 , I had to leave that dead ass town . It was getting to me. I had to leave it all behind for a while to ease the pain . Where shall I go? I don't know . I'll let fate take me . But I atleast want it to be decent, So now here I am on a dark desert highway heading towards California with cool wind breezing in my hair . I've never felt this free before . It all just feels so peaceful . As the wind played with my hair , warm smell of ' colitas' had rise up in the air. What nostalgia. As the day got darker and my journey got further , I saw a shimmering light up ahead in the distance . Shimmering bright all on its own . There weren't any other cars or residence along the roads . It did caught my curiosity and my head grew heavy and my sight grew dim so I had to stop for the night.

I parked my car in the car park and then I saw her. She stood in the doorway . She had the appearance of an angel with such mesmerizing eyes , they were amber just like a fire during January .When I got in , I was greeted with such hospitality by her . I checked in a room and so I heard the 'mission bell' . I thought this could be Heaven or this could be Hell in a way.After so the lady had lit up a candle and she showed me the way . I was shocked at first . Were there no light? . As we walked down the dimly lighted corridor I hear some faint voices from afar . I thought I heard them say " Welcome to the Hotel California ! It's such a lovely place ! such a lovely face ! We have plenty of room here any time of the year , you can find it here!" . The voices disappeared after as we go further into the darkness .

We arrived at some point . She unlocked the door and had switch on the dim lights of the room. The room appear as of a prison cell more than a hotel. She left me the keys and disappeared after without a voice. I had no questions or any criticism or whatsoever . I threw my bags on the side of my bed .I inspected the room . Quite decent . I was planning of just laying in bed until I heard a knock on the door. I reached the door and twisted the vintage doorknob . There she was again , the midnight lady with eyes of fire .She had asked me to accompany her into the courtyard for a dance I assume . I didn't really understood her that much since she spoke with a lisp . Fuck I said but agreed obviously .

Even with her beautiful physical traits , there no way of denying her mind Is Tiffany-twisted .As if there's something that made her traumatize , consumed by the abyss of fear . She has something on her mind she wish to tell me but there's something holding her back . What is it ? it's driving me mad! . I assumed that she would ask me to dance with her , but she already has a lot of pretty boys who she calls ' friends' . They danced in the courtyard gracefully . Some of the dance are to remember but some aren't . I left the courtyard since my presence was not useful . But before so I called the 'Captain' , "Please bring me my wine" .He was rather in a daze before he spat out a stamen , "we haven't have that spirit here since 1969 " . I just gave him a mere glance and continued up the squeaking stairs .

The journey I had to take to get to my room . Shit! It was like a horror corridor or something. When I was in front of my room. I realize that the door was left ajar. Shit did someone broke in?. Luckily , all of my stuff are here . I just took the liberty that I left it like that and decided to doze off . And still in the middle of the night, those voices are calling from far away waking me up. I heard them saying the same thing about this wrenched hotel.What is this fuckery .

I swore I saw a shadow in front of my room . I peeped out and saw a silhouette of a man . He was murmuring something to the Midnight lady . "What was this fuckery" , I keep asking myself over and over again.

I agree , this place is lovely even if it's rather disturbing . There were such lovely faces who were living here .But , what a nice surprise , bring your alibis . My eyes widened .My heart rate sped .My brain dead . What happened ?

Those amber eyes stared with a unspeakable expression . She took my hand and led me in the her room and so the mirrors on the ceiling and the pink champagne on ice. And she spoke softly ,"We are all just prisoners here ...of our own device . and in the master's chamber " she paused. Before continuing , those amber eyes wept , " they will gathere for the feast , they stab it with their steely knives but – THEY JUST CAN'T KILL THE BEAST THAT LIVES INSIDE!" . As those words slip out of her mouth , she grabbed a knife nearby and slit her neck. My eyes widened . My face was covered with her blood. Those amber eyes looked so dead .

I have to get out of thus Shit hole !

I ran out . I ran and ran and never looked back like how I did before .

The last thing I remember , I was running for the door . endlessly trying . I had to find the passage back to the place I was before . 'Relax' said the night man with a grin , ' We are programmed to receive .You can check out anytime you like , But you can never leave!' .

After that everything went black like those corridors . Then everything turned breezy like the day the wind was in my hair . And the last thing I saw was that trenched hotel .

It was the "interpretation of the high life" I choose instead.

"interpretation of the high life in Los Angeles"
