Hotel Real by Michael Donoghue

The Hotel Real lives in the corner of your vision, like a shadow stitched to daylight. You never face it, never walk its steps, yet it hums with the weight of your existence. Its windows glow faintly, as though each one holds a fragment of your past still alive, replaying itself without you.

Inside, every corridor is endless, each door numbered with dates you once lived. In one room, your childhood laughter; in another, the silence of someone you lost. You know the guests, though you have not greeted them in years—they linger, waiting, patient.

You pass the Hotel Real often, pretending not to see it. But the time will come when your eyes refuse to look away. When you must step through the revolving door and check in. And then Hotel Real will no longer be peripheral. It will be everything.
