The Hotel Tower
326
The Hotel Tower loomed over Georgetown like a sentinel of despair, its crumbling facade whispering secrets of forgotten souls. Guests often found themselves enveloped in an oppressive silence, pierced only by the echoes of phantom footfalls and the disembodied laughter of long-gone patrons, while shadowy figures flickered just out of sight in the dimly lit hallways. Those who dared to stay within its walls returned with eyes wide and haunted, murmuring of an insatiable presence that lingered in the corners, as if the hotel itself devoured their very essence, one sleepless night at a time.
