Use the following writing prompt to inspire you to write a scene.

You double check the welcome sign at the front of the room to make sure you’re in the right place, and you are. You walk to the front desk, but no one is there either. You don’t see any guests or staff at all and the hotel appears to be deserted. What’s going on?
