The Lobby of the Hotel Delgado

October 2017. I was driving through western Kansas when the storm hit—a sudden black wall of rain that turned the highway into a river. I pulled off at a town called Delgado, population maybe three hundred, and found a hotel I'd never seen before. The woman at the front desk didn't blink when I asked for a room. She just slid a key across the counter and said, 'Second floor. Rooms 201 through 209. You can take your pick.' I should have asked why they were all empty. I should have asked why the register only had one name—a man who checked in seven years ago and never checked out. But I was tired. So I took the key and climbed the stairs. And that's when I realized the lobby had no stairs. It had never had stairs. But there they were—carpet the color of dried blood, a single bulb above the landing. And a sound from the second floor hallway. Not footsteps. Something heavier. Something dragging. #HotelDelgado #DelgadoKansas #October2017 #KansasStorm #Lobby #SecondFloor #Room201 #FrontDesk #DragSound #EmptyHotel #NeverEnding #VanishedGuest #Key #StairsThatShouldNotBe #Luna #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #SoloNarration Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
