Synopsis/Details
Unable to drive another mile, a travel-weary salesman pulls into a small, remote, nine unit motel located in the middle of nowhere. He is checked in by an elderly couple who seem a bit off and given an old fashion metal key with a plastic fob. When he turns the key to the room assigned to him, he is sucked into a vast seamless place and greeted by a strange little creature who is obviously not from around here. Inspired by a real life nine unit Mom'n'Pop located just north of Mims, Florida. While I have never stayed there, I always wondered who did and why? After giving the matter a great deal of thought, I wrote this (7) short which I hope you will enjoy.
