You approach the front desk and the desk manager comes closer into view. He has a slender face with pale skin, a pair of simple glasses hang from his face. A set of perplexing deep brown eyes stare down at a book and then up to you.
"Hello, welcome." He says, his voice hoarse. A lock of brown hair dips into his face as he stares at you.

There lies another vending machine down the hall that hums softly, the light emitting it from it is a bold red.

There is a large tube television against the wall on top of a dark wooden dresser. A mini-fridge sits next to the dresser and on top of it is a a microwave. There is a door to the bathroom.

Tall cold metal obelisk litter the landscape. A white vending machine resting in the sand, the light from it illuminates the dreary desert. You stand in the black sand and feel a wave of soul crushing lonliness.

(link-goto: "Continue call" "Phone Ending")]You call the front desk.
It beeps for a while and no one picks up. Pretty bad service. . .
[[Hang up|R6]]You wander through the dusty black wasteland and see a familiar sight. In the distance you see your $family's house. You smile and run towards their home. However, the closer and closer you get to your "salvation" the more and more the place you call home detererorates. The pale orange adobe walls look as if they were ruined by centeries of wear and the terracotta roof looks busted and broken. The plants in the front yard of the house are no longer a vibrant green, but a jet black, the leaves stiff and unmoving. The windows boarded up with decaying wood.
You step closer and knock on the white wooden door with the once elaborate glass window on it, shattered. You wait a few seconds to only hear the wind in the obsidian colored landscape gently whistle. You take the initiative and push the door open.
Darkness and shadows coat the inside of the once humble home. A coat rack lays in half on the ground. You step over it and slip deeper into the house. You step into the livingroom to see a familiar wicker coffin laying on a simple brown sofa. You inch closer to the coffin and open it to see your $family laying inside of it. You stare at their body then proceed to shut the coffin. A deep unnerving feeling of lonliness enters you, the wind no longer whistling. Silence coats the livingroom and you stumble to the matching loveseat.
You plop down on it and stare at the coffin. You hear the sharp creaking of the front door shut. You stand up to your feet and run to the door. You place your hand on the bronze door knob then proceed to twist and pull the door knob. To no avail, the door doesn't budge. You try to pull the door open again, however it still doesn't open. You try and try with all your might to open the door, but it still doesn't open.
You walk back over to the loveseat and sit down, letting out a defeated sigh. You shift your gaze over to the wicker coffin. Light seeps through the cracks ofn the boarded windows and you sink into the loveseat. Your eyelids grow heavy and you yawn, strecthing your arms out. You decide to take a nap, it's not like you'll be able to leave place anyways.
THE END(if: $Soda is 3 )[You walk up to the vending machine. You feel like your body is being sucked into the vending machine. You are surroundend by an odd warmth, a warmth you haven't felt in a while. You're blinded by a white light but, then the light disapates. You stand at the end of a hallway a bright light shines at the very end and decays. You see a giant TAB soda with arms and legs sitting at a large computer console. You walk down the hallway to approach the giant can of soda. The can turns to you and lets a shrill shriek.
"Whoa, careful there buddy." The can speaks, putting his hands out. "I don't want any trouble." It continues. You look at the computer console to see a screen that depicts the motel parking lot. This thing has been watching you the whole time apparently. It sighs, spinning in it's chair and then looking at you. "L-Look, it's just an expirement." It says. "I've seen a lot of people come through here, but never has someone ended up in HERE."
It stands up and walks about the room and then towards a door. It opens the door to reveal a dark hallway then a series of industrial lights come on and giant shelves containing unlabeled cans of sodas sit upon the shelves.
"One of these cans will send you to your $family's house." It says, walking down the hallway. "I know you've seen a uh. . . Lot of things here that you can't unsee." It keeps walking, examing the different cans. "But once you take a sip, you'll forget everything that happened." It turns around to you, shaking it's hands excitedly. You sigh and it's display and nod, if it'll get you out of this dreamlike hellscape, you'll take it.
You walk with the giant can of TAB and it points to a grey can. You examine it, pop the can open and take a sip. Your vision gets blurry and you feel the familiar warm feeling. You don't know where you're going, but you know you'll be out of there.
THE END ]You stay on the line with room service. They stay silent for a while before sighing and hanging up the phone. You hold the phone in your hand for a while and then hear loud heavy stomping coming towards your room. You can hear a banging at your door and then you cautiously open it. And indiviual wearing an ancient plague mask, large heavy boots and a black smock stand in the door way.
"Room service?" They ask, tilting their head, a deep brooding voice questions. You nod your head nervously and then the masked person forms a fist and cocks their hand back and punches you in the face. Your vision is shroudded in darkness and you can feel yourself being dragged away.
THE END
