Shots! Shots! Shots!

Number ten...
Thirteen?
Eleven?

I don't know.
I do know.
He's going down.

Oh, there he goes.
Timber!

Laughter

The floor feels nice

Good times.

This hotel is unique.
It is one of a kind.
There is none other out there.

It's been around for decades.

Over time it has become more discerning.
Not just anyone can enter,
do as they please.
It wasn't always like that.

There are the regulars
who have been there
since opening day.

The long term stays.
Those only visiting
for a little while -
or maybe longer.

Then there are the one timers.
Most were a pleasure to have -
some, not so much.
A few have even come back.

But the ultimate guest is
a permanent resident
Someone who loves the hotel
very much.
So much in fact,
they never wish to leave.

Rapid beat
Need to move
Have to get out
CONFINING!!!

Can't breath
Tight chest
Burning eyes
OVERWHEMING*

   Please just stop

So many empty words,
                 "I'll teach you spanish"
                 "We can go there."
                 "I'm not like that."
So many lies,
                 "We'll just watch a movie."
                 "I just want to hold you."
                 "You'll be more comfortable."
At least you were honest,
                "This is what I want."

This isn't how you're suppose to start a relationship.

" I don't know what I'm looking for."
"Just like that....so good."

" You're beautiful."
"Take it...all of it."

"I can respect that."*
"I just want to try it."

All those hands
never at once

Light touches
that bruise so deep

Silence
never meant yes.
