A Story by Abishai100

Man narrates his hotels-trek for basketball-spirits in lounge-TV view for a Blue-Planet 'hyperbole' of magic/ghosts/kinesthesia.

"I was traveling across the American Homeland and had decided to make the Inn-Express my special branches 'hostel' feel and found cool college-basketball season fanfare eye, enjoying hotel-lounge TV viewings of American college-sports for writing/blogging...and dreaming (Facebook-like!)."



"My fanfare and cross-country hotels-lounge journey for basketball fanfare concerned the 'pronounced' Western world court excellence of the storied Duke Blue Devils, a team really aspiring to make national-titles shine in the late '80s before finally eclipsing to that top-tier level under the guidance of legendary Coach-K, who'd take the storied team to countless ACC titles, numerous #1 national rankings, and a whopping 5 national titles. The Blue Devils of Duke (University) had become my special hotels-lounge subject for things of Earthling (American) superstition and fanfare/following. Sure, I was not a Duke student in my life (or teacher!). In fact, I was a student at an Ivy League school in New England and cultivated my Duke-fanfare since my teen-years (ok). I had so many memories of Duke on TV that it became my cross-country subject (for the Ego!)."



CONCIERGE: We've no account of a Duke ghost, sir.
ME: Are you stating I'm insane, friend?
CONCIERGE: Your claim you were watching Duke on TV in our lounge is a haunting?
ME: I know what I saw, friend...a ghost in a Duke-shirt wandering in hallway.
CONCIERGE: We've no account of such a claim here at our great building, sir (no).
ME: Damn...I guess you're thinking I'm some prototype Duke-fanatic story man.



WAITRESS: Chicken-pie for you, prince.
ME: Thanx, lady...maybe you'll believe (in) me (ok).
WAITRESS: Our concierge is a (natural) skeptic, pal (ha).
ME: You ever hear of a ghost in a college-basketball shirt wandering in halls?
WAITRESS: I've heard of such a thing, but really it's just harmless fun to me (ok).
ME: Damn, I ain't lying, but maybe my hotel-journey is too sports-superstitious!
WAITRESS: I get off work at midnight, if you want to invite me to your room.
ME: Awesome, I've this special Duke concoction drink (Devil's Quick).
WAITRESS: Ingredients, man?
ME: Blue Curacao, pear-juice, and whiskey...what do you say?
WAITRESS: Duke of Hotels man, I think it's (quite) a humility (ok).
ME: Maybe Devil's-Quick renders a Blue-Planet cheer-zag for love (after all), ok.
WAITRESS: Facebook-like!
