The Hotel «Other Life»
Шрифт:
Maksim: - And we will live in a cage? Can't go out of the territory of the "heart"? – outraged man from Mercedes
Guide: – Why, have. At your own risk you can go looking for mushrooms, but remember that you signed this paper case.
We were silent, looked at each other, watching the reaction.
– Well, if no more questions – follow me, we proceed to paperwork.
And in front of us began to rattle and clatter to depart the gate. We took seats in our cars.
I watched as one after another foreign car drove into the unknown, which frankly scared me. What awaits us? For three circles of gate, without the possibility of contact with family and first aid, signed the papers. In a head pop up images of horror films and detective stories, where all were killed, and survived only the main character and killer.
And so, at the moment of doubt, Natalie called.
Natalie: – Well, how you are there?
Anna: – We are all the time spent briefing – I moved off slowly, my car was the last time and the fluctuations were not more. – Look, I'm going to sign the papers, I can not talk. Natasha, there will be no cellular service on the territory, so write on e-mail or come without warning. All right, wish me luck.
Natalie: – Wait, what luck? You're going on vacation, but not on a desert island – asked surprised girlfriend
Anna: – I'm afraid you do not quite imagine the place that I have chosen. – and hung up, parked my car in the free space.
Chapter 2
We looked at each other as if waiting who first refused to sign the papers, get the keys, leave the protection of forbidden things. We passed through the metal frame. To get to our hotel seems not easier than at the customs cross the border. After signing the papers we have once again gathered in the territory of the corridor.
Guide: – Dear residents of the hotel, "Another Life". Together with the keys you issued characteristic of the electric vehicle. Please note that the speed of the transport does not develop a high, not more than 45 km / h. Furthermore, it is necessary to monitor the battery charge level as full charge is 8 hours At the same time, each car can accommodate 8 passengers – to try to be friends with the neighbors. Inspect the charge before departure, especially if you plan to travel long distances, such as the "corridor".
The road to the "Heart" will take three hours or if you need to visit the washroom, or look into the number of "dormitory corridor", please do so now. Departure in exactly half an hour, please do not be late.
We loaded our suitcases in the issued transport, and scattered throughout the territory. Most went to the hostel to look at their bonus room, I decided to look around in the corridor. The walls of three to five meters, barbed wire, observation posts. Strange place and in the description of the hotel nothing about fencing is not told when booking.
After half an hour, we got into our cars. This time the gate parted almost noiselessly. Eyes the dense forest, a single gravel road, enclosed with a metal mesh installed along the road lights that worked on the combination of wind and solar energy.
My pretty little yellow car was last. Three hours of driving on gravel, in the dust of those that ones ahead, suffering at a speed of 30 kilometers per hour – it's hard. At the place we arrived tired and dreaming of a shower and bed. We again gathered in a circle.
Guide: – Well, you have arrived at your destination. Now we will go to the reception where you will be given the keys to the houses and a map of the hotel complex. I think your strength is enough for today only then to unpack and dinner, so immersed in life and rules the "heart" will begin tomorrow. I am waiting for you in the lobby at 8am.
Martha: – And if we plan to sleep till noon? – refined woman from Mercedes
Guide: – Then will ask friends. And today I say goodbye to you. Till tomorrow.
We are somewhat shocked by what is happening, submit passport and get a printed card on which the administrator marked location number and key in the form of plastic with a magnetic strip.
Dmitriy: – We were promised a more transmitter- said the guy from Porshe
– Tomorrow – briefly said the girl behind the reception desk
Anna: – Do you have a schedule of tours? – I asked of mother fidgets.
– You will also be given their tomorrow.
Martha: – And it is possible to order room service or is it too tomorrow? – asked irritably woman from Mercedes
– You in the room is wired communication apparatus, as well as a list of available phone numbers and your extension number. Near the unit you'll find the menu. – politely and with a smile she said.
Chapter 3
Dmitriy: – What is the number of your house? – appealed to me a man of Porshe – my name is Dmitry by the way, and you?
Anna: – Sixth. My name is Aneta. Nice to meet you – I held out his hand.
Dmitriy: – An? – he corrected me, shaking my hand
Anna: – Listen, we've come here to this hotel, for the sake of the promised "another life" – I spread her arms out, embracing this new world – so why do these trivial names Anya, Tanya, Ksyunya … Call me Aneta.
Dmitriy: – Well, then I Dark – he smiled and playfully bowed.
Margarita: – Wait for me – quickly caught up with us a girl from priusa, wheels her suitcase fun banging the rocks and jumped up on bumps. – I just in sixth too. My name is Margarita – she coyly glanced at Dmitry from under the wide brim hat
