ReQuest 002: Beechwood Hotel

{ The Beechwood Hotel is a relatively old building, great swirling architecture adding flare and beauty even if some of the luster has clearly faded over the years. Once upon a time, it had been the sort of place where starlets and public figures made a point of staying, but that time is well over even if the place has been well-maintained and cared for. The front lobby is opulent but just as obviously antique, with dark woods polished to a warm sheen and plush red fabrics that do their job of drawing one in quite well for all that the furniture was made decades ago. Most of the room has soft, intimate lighting and there may be a couple of visitors waiting around or checking in as one enters, but the front desk is bright and inviting and the attendant there is kind and welcoming.

Their face darkens in worry as they hand you the key, however.

The elevator, an old caged affair with a bellhop and all, looks at you somewhat askance as you mention the room you're headed to, but as you make your way towards room 203, there's no outward sign that there's anything amiss here. A 'Do Not Disturb' sign hangs from the door, either for good reason or as someone's idea of a joke, but if you put in the key and turn the knob, the door will open as the owner had mentioned. What you'll see upon looking in from the door is a perfectly normal, if above-average, hotel room with a single bed, a sitting area, a small kitchenette, a television, and a side alcove which almost certainly leads to the closets and the bathroom.

When you step in, however, the door closes behind you, complete with a strange clanging noise. That would be when you notice the chains and the locks on this side of the door. The door which certainly won't open again.

Good luck. }
