Hotel Belvedere
281
The Hotel Belvedere loomed like a dark sentinel above Cluj-Napoca, its peeling facade whispering secrets of a bygone era, where the air crackled with discontent. Guests wandered its labyrinthine hallways, cloaked in shadows, only to be met by the piercing gaze of specters long past, their spectral forms flickering like dying bulbs overhead, while the icy grip of sudden temperature drops curled around them like an unwanted embrace. As they settled into their rooms, an unsettling truth lingered in the air, as if the hotel itself had become a conduit for the restless dead, waiting to ensnare the living in its web of despair.
