    About this ebook

    It's always midnight at the hotel. The music never stops, the dance goes on forever, every drink is on the house. Stay as long as you like, leave any time, but you'll never get a room. No one does.

    The hotel isn't much––the paint's peeling off the walls, the elevator malfunctions, the noise is endless, there's no food––but it's all there is. There's one escape, but no one takes it. Not if they have a choice.

    This short story follows a brief moment in one person's life at this mysterious hotel. It also includes a sample of I Am Not Thirteen, a longer work by the same author.

      Water Under The Bridge

      Nov 10, 2022

      The sound of water coursing over rocks filled my ears. The creek banks reached out with lush green vegetation as if to grab and hold me, and the warm June air was sweet with the smell of honeysuckle. The creek was small. Four good jumps and I could g
