A Wrong Turn

Posted by admin On October - 28 - 2009

You got off the plane two hours ago and you now find yourself walking through an unfamiliar city.   You were running low on cash and your cabbie wouldn’t take credit cards so you had him let you off a few blocks shy of your destination.  Now, you’re not sure where you’re going.

As you drag your suitcase along, you decide to ask for directions to the hotel.  You step inside a quiet tobacco shop and call out for someone.  No one answers, but you see a smaller door off to one side, near the back.  You open the door and look inside, only to see a small room with two professionally stuffed animals and nothing else.  Do you enter the tiny room?  Do you look around any further?  Do you leave the shop?
