Being a porter... I didn’t think I’d be stuck doing that, but you must know that finding any other decent job here in my city is very hard, if not impossible. Eh... At least I could have some savings, since costs of living are rather cheap.
I would rather stick to my poetry – writing novels isn’t really my thing. I really wanted to do that, but it wasn’t that great. And poems? Not only easy, but also quick. I wish I could earn something from it, but perhaps one day...
I was sitting in a corner, checking my phone and I saw a horse dressed in black long coat carrying two big suitcases. I got interested, so I eavesdropped on the dialogue with my friend. She’s a receptionist that’s also a giraffe.
”Welcome to Kalukh Hotel”, she started. ”What do you need?”
”Room for one”, horse replied quickly. ”Preferably in more quiet part. One night for now.”
”Let’s see...”
”Can’t this be swifter?”, client got impatient and started wiping his forehead.
”Room 207. Do you need help with your suitcases?”
”Em... Okay. I see the price list, so here – all the money needed.”
”This alpaca will help you with that.”
I immediately approached the horse, who was still nervous. I thought about how to calm him down, but I couldn’t think of anything, so I went with my duties.
”Good evening”, I said, as I grabbed the suitcases.
”Please, be careful”, client said in higher than usual tone.
”As always. Follow me.”
I decided to use the staircase – since one of the incidents related to the elevator, which I was a part of, I prefer to not use it. I won’t mention specifics, but even if I did, you wouldn’t believe me.
”Going up the stairs of fame / One missed step and you fall to shame...”, I was whispering to myself.
”Poetry?”, horse was confused.
”Yeah, I write something from time to time”
”I see. I’m also an artist, but... it’s another branch.”
”Okay... Oh, we’ve arrived.”
”I’ll manage this from now on”, he said and reach for his pocket to get some money. ”Tip for you.”
”Very kind of you, sir”, I grabbed the gift from him. ”Enjoy your stay.”
We’ve parted our ways and wanted to return to my friend. As I was descending, I began whistling a melody from my childhood. I heard opinions that it’s annoying, but honestly? I don’t care. I like it very much.
As I returned to the reception, I saw another client. It was a woman, specifically blue bird. Similarly dressed like horse from earlier, but being more secretive. She only had one small suitcase and I got suspicious. It’s not normal for a woman to have such little amount of baggage.
”I’m looking for a certain horse”, bird woman started.
”Sorry, but we protect data of our clients”, giraffe replied.
”Then I want a room”, client put the money down on a table. ”One person. One night.”
”I see. This alpaca will help with your suitcase. Room 303.”
I approached her and took her baggage. As earlier, I used the stairs and the bird didn’t mind. However, after a moment, she nudged me.
”You saw my boyfriend, right?”, she asked me in bossy tone.
”Who?”, I was confused.
”Horse, dressed like me.”
”There are a lot of clients lately.”
”This should refresh your memory”, she got a big bundle of money in her hand.
”Sadly, I really have to take meds for that”, I lied.
”I see. This should cover it.”
”That’s better”, I grabbed the money. ”This way.”
We quickened our steps, because she said so. After reaching the proper floor, I guided her to the correct room. To our surprise, it wasn’t locked. As I opened the door, we could see a horse dressed in high priest outfit, playing electric guitar and singing quietly.
”You”, blue bird was angry.
”I can explain...”, horse stopped playing.
”Oh, I think so... Better start now.”
”I’ll leave you, then”, I said and closed a door behind myself.
Oof... This guy looked like a front man of some specific rock band. I wanted to laugh, but I stopped myself from it. Well... even if I shouldn’t do that, I think it will be a great theme for my new poem. Even if it won’t be that noticed and will go around like a ghost...

"Room 303" - The Matrix?
And fun story, looks like someone is in trouble! ;)

Sure, but I meant something else, related to "ghost". Not related to the room, but to the word and things that appeared here.
High priest outfit, electric guitar, singing... The answer is the last word of this story.
I assume it's heavy metal or similar group called Ghost? I admit I'm not familiar with them, or that genre of music.
Yeah, that's the reference. They play various subgenres of rock and metal. If you don't listen to that kind of music then you'd have problems with guessing without searching.
Well, everybody's got their hobbies. Lol. Strange place to play guitar, though. Would probably get a noise complaint.
He could just turn down the volume enough, so it'd be quiet enough. It's an electric one, so that's an option.
Oh dear, seems someone is in a bit of trouble. Should have left a better tip.
Money is something that (almost) everyone wants to have in as large amount as possible. But yeah, it was a small tip.
I knew you were talking about Ghost. My husband loves them. :>
A horse, eh? I haven't really thought about what the band member's furry incarnations might have been...

Well, I got one song of Ghost looped at the moment of writing, so I went with the idea.
And for the horse... it just came to me unexpectedly.
