Room at the Top (FF)

"Here's your key to Room 1313 on our top floor," said the hotel clerk.  

Perry couldn't believe it. Not that he was superstitious, but the last time a black cat crossed his path he wore a suit of armor for the next six months.  

“I'll probably be electrocuted by the coffee pot," he wailed, "or swept out the windows, or my bed will be short-sheeted!”

Perry entered the elevator for dinner.  As it descended, the power cut off, and the elevator plummeted!

"I knew it!" Perry cried.  ”And I haven’t even seen Batman v. Superman yet!"

The power quickly returned and the elevator came to a screeching halt at the first floor.

"OMG," said a man in the back, "If we'd been on any floor lower than 13, we'd have been goners!

So is 13 an unlucky number?  I really don't think so, provided Rochelle doesn't yell at me for going over the word limit again. But this week I gave you heart stopping adventure along with the hint of the paranormal and the thrill of bed short sheeting! So you're going to complain? 

Gee, I don't think I've ever heard 80-some people talking all at once before.

Well, you can enjoy the work of all these 80-some folks, the other Friday Fictioneers, by clicking here And there's no way you can be unlucky by checking them out.
