After reading this short story, I thought about what I would’ve done in Bill’s situation for meeting the landlady. She was creepy in some sort which would’ve made me feel cautious. If I were Bill to check the registration list and see only two names, I would’ve been wondering, “Why would there only be two names? If there were only two names, does that mean there were bad reviews?” I would’ve been a little bit more cautious.
The reason why I would be cautious by the moment I step inside is that the woman opened the way a little too fast. She opened the door as if she was waiting for Bill to arrive…like she knew he was coming. This wouldn’t be normal because normally it would take half a minute to open the door. Like I said, seeing only two visitors on the check-in list would be a little bit suspicious. When there are only two visitors to the hotel and when they had sort of an analogy. If Bill came into the hotel, what if the same thing that the other two gentlemen experienced happen to him?
If such things happen to him, I think another person would come to the hotel because to finish an analogy, there have to be two words. but in this case, names. Maybe there wouldn’t have to be an analogy for this to happen. But, my theory for what would happen to him has to do with the analogy he said.
