Shining - Hotel Wingate

Shining - Hotel Wingate

A Story by Abishai100
"

Two writers seek a creative-haven project at an 'iconic' hotel of Earth and come undone by the hand/aura of real spirits from the dark side.

"
An adaptation of The Shining (Stephen King). 
DISCLAIMER: This work of fiction offers no commercial/explicit ties to the Wingate (hotel) and is cast as purely a 'personal' expression of creative arts (for 'open' interpretation).

AMLAN: Let's make for this hostel-station work-bench for horror-writing, pal.
MARCUS: Pals from Dartmouth, haven at Wingate (hotel); myth-languages, ok.
AMLAN: This hotel's haunted I hear.
MARCUS: Adds to the dialysis (Facebook-like).



The Wingate is where we find Amlan/Marcus working alongside each other, for a writer's project about incomplete-distances readings for metaphysics and the superstition of fear. However, they didn't realize those bad rumors about hotel-haunting weren't rumors, for this building housed specters from the dark-side for a long time, and Amlan's psychic-sense was about to unfurl (for dialysis!).



CONCIERGE: Hey, if you don't bother the (rumored) ghosts, they'll be far.
AMLAN: I know that, ha; however, I've this natural fascination with immortals!
CONCIERGE: Sounds like a writer's soul, good sir; have a decent stay here.
AMLAN: "I ain't afraid of no ghosts"...seen that one?
CONCIERGE: Sure...Hollywood fan...we're a proud establishment here (thanx).
AMLAN: Take good care (thanx).



The ancient specters of the Wingate building were known to have moved the restoration and sale of the original company that owned the building, and it became the Wingate. However, ghost-sightings continued. Amlan got a fresh face of fear, and he knew the first one he saw was an ancient one (damn).



MARCUS: This lady from Hell offered to kiss me, man!
AMLAN: You're nuts.
MARCUS: Hey, you claimed you saw an 'ancient' specter in the hall!
AMLAN: You're nuts...let's just keep writing and it will (all) pass (away).
MARCUS: Damn you...I'm not insane, pal.
AMLAN: Just keep writing (Facebook-like).



MARCUS: Look at that one (damn).
AMLAN: That's a real one, pal.
MARCUS: The spirits target us for our writing, Amlan man.
AMLAN: I thought we'd meet a nice pair of lady-guests, not this.
MARCUS: I'm really afraid, pal.
AMLAN: Me too.



CONCIERGE: We don't know, simply.
INTERVIEW: They left-behind this classic (gold!) typewriter.
CONCIERGE: They've vanished, friend.
INTERVIEW: I'm so sorry...this hotel's chalked with street-chats now, eh?
CONCIERGE: We're remaining afloat.
INTERVIEW: Darkened field goals.
CONCIERGE: Facebook like.
