>>5361233After surviving a close call with the stairs leading into the damn thing, you flail at the wall like a cat trying to escape a bathtub and eventually find a light switch! Flipping it on, you nearly fall back out of the trailer again when your lodgings are illuminated: standing in a fully-stocked kitchen with granite counters (not that you really care) and a tall fridge humming in the corner, you find a cushy L-Shaped couch dominating what you assume to be the living room area to your left where a TV sits built into the wall next to a mess of cords–chargers, perhaps?
Several tinted windows give you a faint view of the exterior–or they <span class="mu-i">would</span> if not for the thick, sultry curtains drawn over them all. Private indeed, you say to no one in particular! Trotting past the fridge and the small door leading to what you assume is the bathroom, you avoid the temptation of scouring the fridge for more booze in favor of investigating what lies behind the door at the other end of the trailer!
Gently pushing it open, you subconsciously cover your eyes to keep them from leaping out of their sockets–while the rest of the mobile home remains relatively spartan in its design, the bedroom is something else entirely!
Past a closet sunken into the wall and a door that, upon further inspection, leads to a sleek, spotless shower sits a bed right out of history: placed atop a tiger-print rug sits a bed caked in comforters and blankets–the kind you’re already fantasizing about sinking into!
Flanked by two yellow, abstract end tables, the bed is illuminated by a pair of lava lamps that fill the bedroom with an eerie, almost alien glow as both cycle all the colors of the rainbow through the viscous globs of, well, <span class="mu-i">LAVA</span> inside them! Better be careful, huh?
“It’s not <span class="mu-i">real</span> lava, Stan.”
Shows what <span class="mu-i">he</span> knows! Taking a running start, you belly flop onto the bed like a kid and nearly get tossed off when the whole thing shifts and shakes like a big piece of jello!
Holy <span class="mu-i">crap</span>, you hiss as you hang on for dear life, is… is this a <span class="mu-b">WATER BED!?</span>
“SOMEone had a good time decoratin’.” Ly remarks as you gleefully roll around the bed like a pig in shit. “Kinda weird, but I guess if it’s da’ skeletons doin’ it…”
Rising into a sitting position when you remember you have a beverage, you take another sip as you take in your surroundings one more time. Shit, Ly, you mutter in lingering disbelief, this thing’s <span class="mu-i">better</span> than your apartment! And it’s a <span class="mu-i">TRAILER</span>!
“Yyyea? What’s yer’ point?”
What the <span class="mu-i">hell</span> are you still doing living in an apartment!?
“Well it’s not like we’ve got a car ta’ pull dis’ thing around with… not legally-owned, at least.”
Not <span class="mu-i">yet</span>, you answer with a mischievous laugh! Not YET!
“Take it easy.”
