Stories From The Shadow Zone

A Jock Walked Into a Hotel - Brian

Jack along with the lamp fell into a darkness unfamiliar to most. Jack saw that even without any power the lamp stayed on. He grabbed the lamp and waved it around. It made the darkness staticy. He looked around and the only thing he saw was a plate that said 127 A, and then he turned around and saw Curver enter a hotel. "Yo Curver" Jack shouted and he chased after Curver. When Jack got to the hotel door Jack heard a voice before opening the door. "Jack… Hello Jack…" whispered around the Shadow Zone. "Hello, who's there what is this place" Shouted Jack. He thought nothing of it, going into the Hotel with the lamp in his left hand. When he got in it he was greeted by a man behind the desk. "What the. Who are you. Where did you come from. That lamp. Why is it on?" Said Tad Strange, the man behind the desk. Jack looked around and saw all the lamps off, with only lights coming from nothing. "Names Jack,Uhh I'm looking for Curver?" Shouted Jack. "You don't need to shout Jack, also follow me" shouted Tad. Tad walked Jack down a hall way to a door. Tad handed Jack a key and said "This is your room. You can return anytime you want with that key. If you remember any of this, of course. This will bring you back to where you were before this. Please come visit us anytime. Say as long as you want. As long as you want. As long as you want. As lon-" "Yuh I get it I guess" Jack interrupted. Tad froze and then looked at Jack wide eyed "That light is too bright. Please throw it away, the owner hates light in here" said Tad as he was walking away,but before out of sight of Jack, Tad goes "Oh and how did you get here. Something bad coming. I can feel it. I know alot Jack. Remember that. Call my name if needed" Tad said before disappearing. Jack just assumed he was tripping so he decided he was gonna go through the door, but right before that he heard a voice. It was the same voice talking to him from outside the hotel. He followed the voices, but leaving the door open. (Call back to tess). He followed the voices until he came to a door. The door read "Management only". "Go in '' whispered the voice. Jack decided to go in, what's the worst that could happen, but first he put his ear to the door and heard Tad. "He has a lamp" said Tad. Jack heard memmers back. Jack barged in, lamp in his hand waving it around “Why you talking about my lamp dog?” Asked Jack walking into the door. He saw Tad talking to another manager of the Hotel. Tad turned to “Oh shoot here he isssssssssssss” Tad said before glitching then saying “Welcome to the hotel, stay awhile” and turning off.“Oh look what you did, you broke him” said the other person, as they try to fix Tad. “Yo who are you” asked Jack. Jack couldn’t see him as the management room was almost fully dark. The man walked out to reveal a trenchcoat. “Hello I’m Courver” said Courver. Courver put out his hand to shake Jack’s, Jack shook back and then was kicked by Courver. “Are you two kids?” Jack questioned Courver. Courver walked over to Tad and opened a door in the back of him, and flipped a switch. Tad awoken and shook Courver’s hand. Courver walked over to Jack and whispered to him “you have to get out of here, that lamp will ruin everything, everything we have here, please”. “Push him over” Whispered the voice that had been talking to Jack outside” Jack pushed Courver over and ran to a elevator in the management room and clicked floor 720. This was the top floor. And as the door for the elevator closed, Tad screemed “Nooo”.
