Happy Wednesday, Sharron.

Thank you, Meg! Not as fictional as you might assume, though... I have lodged in some pretty funky places...slept with a lot of resident cats.

Cats and no windows? The stuff of nightmares.

Cats, maybe, but I gotta have AIR! How's that story coming?

email it right now. I have my red pencil in hand. Hah! Can I send you Haylene and Marla? Nearly finished, but I don't like the abrupt ending. Need a tip from the master.

Thanks, AT. I always traveled on a tight budget. I've stayed in some pretty weird (unforgettable) places. Thanks for reading me!

Really, your dreams would be in red. Do you remember Kramer's red room when the red neon sign was installed outside his window?

No I don't. Sounds hilarious. I will see if I can find it. Thanks James

I found the clip. Pretty darned funny. Poor Kramer - hooked on fried chicken...

I might be able to manage the cats, but no windows? -Get me out of there. I don't even like closed doors in the house or blinds shut tight. Let some light in, please.

Me, too. Let me breathe! I have stayed, though, in some pretty sketchy places in my travels.

Regardless of her response, I hope you turned and ran! (Did this actually happen to you?) The last line gave me a good laugh. 🤣

Not exactly THIS room, but many with resident cats and other odd surprises.. Read here a five minute story - when you ever catch up with your reading.
