the night manager

☂ Past Hauntings ☂

Kat lived for Halloween, she loved everything dark and spooky and spent the full year waiting for it to come around. Her whole job was based around it, she thrived of it. When the invite to this party came through, she couldn’t wait. She planned her Maleficent costume down to the last detail and it was ready just in time for the party. The party was in full swing when Kat got there, she said hello to her friends and had a few drinks she was feeling slightly tipsy. Kat went outside for some air and felt the cool air breeze on her skin, it was nice. She sat by the pool and let her legs dangle in the water, it was nice. She spent a while looking at the moon and the night sky before she figured she better get back to the party. When she took her legs out of the water she stood up and cut herself on a small piece of glass. “Dammit.” She muttered, looking down and seeing a small trickle of blood, when she noticed the pool house she walked over to it, hoping to find a first aid kit. She opened the door and opened her eyes when she saw Tom sitting there. “Holy fuck!” She exclaimed, not expecting to see anyone.

When he had first gotten the invitation to the party, Tom didn’t think he was going to be able to make it. As a manager at the hotel, he worked most nights. Somehow, though, he had gotten lucky and had not gotten scheduled that night. Going out to parties wasn’t necessarily Tom’s thing, but who could resist the mystery behind all of this? Tom had gotten a Daredevil costume from the back of his closet that he had used a couple of years back at a costume party. Luckily, it still fit so it would be good enough. 

I wish  —  I do love to sing, but more of in, like, a karaoke way.  No, I do photography though, which I like just as much  —  always have done.  Anyway, I’d say you’re well deserving of a cup, ‘cause I can’t imagine that was a totally interesting answer.  Especially when it comes to the high stakes of giving over your soul and all.

Hey, never underestimate the joy of a good karaoke night. Though it has been quite a while since I’ve done karaoke. Oh, photography! That’s wonderful! What sort? Landscape? Portraits? Nonsense, it was very interesting, but I will definitely take the cup.

I watched one called Spiders and it was just… bad. So bad. I loved it a little too much. Holy shit, are you serious? That must be so cool though. I take it is set at hotel?

Spiders...? That sounds... horrifying, actually. It is sort of set at a hotel, yes. Well... by sort of, I mean, it is. It’s more like a cover though. I highly recommend it.

Honestly, I am not big on tech so the phone sounds perfect to me. I phone my mam every night and we can talk for hours, it’s crazy. And we both always have a cup of tea, so you are for sure speaking my language. 

Really? That seems very rare to find people like that as of late. By the time I learn about a new piece of tech that people are talking about, it’s apparently outdated. Well, you and your mam seem like very good people to know. I’m Tom.
