  • A hotel in a mining town, one of a few contractors stay at when they can’t get accommodation on site. Mining town = lots of alcohol abuse = occasional fights and violence. They’re never well-appointed places, people always come and go with filthy clothes and boots from site so there’s a level of dirt that could never be cleaned. Didn’t care too much about that if the sheets and towels were clean, but the room was on the outside facing the main road and the door frame was recently (and very poorly) repaired after someone very clearly had booted the door in. Slept with the tool bag open by the bed in case the owner of said boots didn’t get the message that the prior occupant had left town.





  • Not sure I follow this line of thought. I honestly didn’t think of anything nefarious - just someone who was privy to a situation or piece of information that they hadn’t been instructed to keep quiet. I’ve had that exact thing happen to me so many times where someone mentioned something that happened conversationally and then the official line was something different. No reason to make waves or bring it up - just initiates some curiosity/wariness.
