It was late in the afternoon as Bob and I arrived at the Pleasure Island Fun and Adventure Park. I was now retired yet Bob still worked for the government, we thought it best to stay the night. The view from the thirteen floor hotel of the park at night would be interesting.
Then they planned to have a full day to see all the exibits and sample many foods and wine.
As we walked uphill toward the gray stone hotel, I made a comment "Heck this place reminds me of a sick'o 'B' movie back in the 60's."
True enough the stone work on the hotel looked old and evil.
As we approached the front desk a stout minotaur creature stepped up and offered to take the bags. Bob stared at the seven foot tall man? He had a head much like a Texas Long Horn bull and a hairy human body. A loincloth covered his waist as a T-shirt covered his bulging chest. It was very noteworthy that a bull's sheath buldged the front of the T-shirt. I turned to Bob, " A little over done this fantasy stuff, as Bob pointed at the minotaur."
Bob rang the front desk bell for service. Out from the office came a skimply clad female satyr. Bob turned to me his eyes blinking and a dumb smile on his puss.
"Ahh my sweet we would like a room for two nights, double beds and non-smoking rooms, said Bob the world traveler!!"
A soft sexy voice said, " I'm sorry but we only rent rooms for one night stay's only. You see we have a lot of noshows for there second night."
Bob stunned, turned to me and threw up his hands.
I walked up to the counter, "Ahh may we pay for the room in advance?"
She looked surprised! "Well I guess, I don't know why you couldn't. It's not like after tomorrow that you will have or need any money!"
I was relieved about our two night reservation, but why would I not have any money after tomorrow? I waited and the asked, "Do you have a place to gamble here?"
"GAMBOL, yes sir I'd say most of our guests gambol after they are engroused in their fantasy."
"Room 1017 should have a nice view, please do enjoy!"
The minotaur picked up the bags and as Bob followed him toward the elevator, the satyress called to me.
"Sir after tomorrow, if you decide to stay elsewhere is their anyone I should contact? Also I need you preferance of fantasy?"
"I'll ask my partner and call from our room!"
