The Hotel
The facade overgrown with vines; light green, interspersed with violet blossoms. Through the gate, vaulted rooms, then absorbed into the soothing darkness. Cool air, light again just a little farther ahead. Arcaded walkways, views of the surrounding village. Slowly walking up the staircase; each step softer than the last. Past a door slightly ajar. Transported by the dried lavender for a moment to southern climes. Outside, a blackbird in the afternoon silence.
