I am taking part in Mondays Finish the Story, which is a challenge that provides a photo prompt and the opening sentence to your story. The rules indicate that the story you come up with must be between 100-150 words….Ready?
“When I rented the room, I did not think it would be this one!” It took me months to plan for this vacation. It turns out that planning a vacation is not my forte.
I had bought the cheapest seat available on the flight. The seat: It was right next to the bathroom. When we landed, the airline lost my bag.
The first “hotel” that I stayed at turned out to be a rooming house. There were 50 beds in one room with what resembled hospital curtains between the beds. Man, some people can really snore, and fart! It only had one bathroom!
The second “hotel” that I rented was actually a tent. For the facilities, they provided you with a shovel and a roll of toilet paper. There was a warning to watch out for the poison oak.
My last place was a real room. This was the most expensive of the lot. I cringed when I saw the half moon on the door!

I hope that you enjoyed my bit of flash! May you have a magnificent Monday, and thank you for stopping by! Be well! ^..^
LOL – Good story 🙂 Not so sure I’d be best at vacation planning either. Maybe better than the story, but not by much.
LOL! Thank you for your comment Tenaa!
Home is where you poop most comfortably. 😉
At least these places away from home offer a place to go, even if it is a little… erm… rustic.
Well written.
Thank you Caerlynn! It is a definite one on the list for rustic! 🙂
Man, you sure ain’t too good at booking hotel rooms, young Missy. Y’all need to use Trivago or Hotels Combines. This was a fun piece, Barb. You were right when you said there’d be a laugh this week 😀
Cannot wait to see what you come up with Lyn! 🙂
Did you find the last room on Craig’s List? Looks like Caveat Emptor applies for this lodging.
Not saying….
