Escaping Hotel California Pages

You walk into the hotel and are greeted by a dashing man with a bright and welcoming smile.

You enter a clean and classy dining room with white and cream colors neatly designed on each wall. The table is long and wide with expensive gold vases filled with white and red roses.

You walk into an extravagant ballroom lined with lavish decorations of gold and silver. The floor is made of dark wood, smoothed over so that each footstep that meets it glides along effortlessly.

You stroll into the room as your senses become overwhelmed by the seemingly endless amount of party-goers and booze that lay before you. An elderly gentleman, whom others call "the captain", invites you over to take a seat at the bar. His charming, yet crooked smile puts you at ease.

You follow your nose all the way to the back room which appears to be the kitchen. Your nose aggressively pushes you forward and you shove past the swinging doors to a brick room filled with foods of all kinds.

You grab one of the fancy vases and throw it with all your strength at one of the large windows. Water and petals splash everywhere, but nothing but a minor scratch is left on the window.

This place is gorgeous! So what you're trapped? Rather be trapped here than anywhere else. Let's enjoy our time here, stay a little while. The doors slowly open and the man who greeted you before smiles once again and reaches out his hand.

You begin to press the bricks one by one in the large kitchen. Eventually, you build interesting tactics to reach the high bricks and press as many as you possibly can in a short amount of time.

You begin to scream. "Hey! I'm kind of stuck in here... Mind giving me a hand?"

You look around and after what feels like decades, you find a vent in the very back corner. It's small, but you believe that you will be able to slide your way through if you really try.

You begin to play the machines and end up getting lost in the excitement of it all. Winning or losing, it doesn't matter because you always feel like you're winning more than you're losing.

You try to keep going, but your shirt doesn't seem to want to let go of the piece of metal. The loose piece ends up being pulled just a little too far and the vent breaks.

You try to turn around but the little bit of metal begins to dig into your side. There is no way out now, moving both forward and back could cause a serious injury. You're officially stuck in a vent... not your best choice.

You sit there patiently and, eventually, three people enter the room. They remove the bag from your head and your eyes are pleased to see three beautiful women standing before you.

You build up the courage to rise to your feet and fight for your honor! You move around a bit and as soon as someone walks in, you jump to your feet. Unfortunately, jumping to your feet while being tied to a chair only comes with humorous outcomes. You end up falling flat on your face and are humiliated.

You take a second glance at your old rusty car and take a step toward the beautiful girls. They whisk you up and tell you that every benefit comes at a price, and yours is your precious memories.

You run toward your car but something seems to pull you back, a feeling in your gut that tells you the only thing that will ever truly make you happy is to receive these great pleasures offered.

I'm not sure how hiding would help your case... Maybe try a different option? This one is definitely the wrong choice.

Duh! It's probably the wind. Just give the door a good shake and we'll be on our way to exploring more of this fancy hotel.

It's a hotel, you should be having fun not worrying! Screw the door, let's see what stuff they have lying around here.

You slowly creep into the door and look around at the dimly lit cave walls. You can hear the patter of rat feet scurrying on the ground and it reeks of a thick moldy smell.

I agree, that's way too scary for my feeble little heart. Let's back away as far as we can -. Before you're able to finish that sentence, the lights begin to flicker and burn out. You hear soft footsteps coming toward you and you jump to your feet. You're ready to fight but, unfortunately, your vision (or lack thereof), causes...

You walk down the path with a red shining light, and it leads you far into the depths of a cave. As you continue to get closer to the light, it feels as though it's getting hotter and hotter although you're going further underground.

You've never been scared of the dark! Might as well see what we can find using our other senses. You trudge slowly down the dark path and feel the cold wet stones around you.

I'm not sure what gave you the idea that a creature that lives in the dark can't see in the dark, but it seems to me that this was, in fact, a wrong choice.

You blindly run as fast as your legs can carry you into the unknown. As you speed by, the walls seem to jump out and hit your body in every place possible. Sticks on the ground snap beneath your feet, but the low growl following you close keeps you going no matter the cost.

The captain looks at you in disbelief!

The captain seems somewhat put off by your request and replies, "Oh, we haven't had that spirit here since 1969!"

Your mind buzzes with excitement at what wonders the hotel could bestow, but your gut continues to tug on you. Oh... all those drinks have made you a little woozy... something not ri-.

But all of a sudden... you start to hear voices... calling from far away.
