Update, it's just past three, and I have exactly 24 minutes before I can expect the mystery guide to show up.

I feel like I'm going to throw up.

I'm terrified.

As soon as I posted my last message, the tabbing thankfully stopped.

The whispering was still there, but that too eventually went away.

I'm still not going to open the curtain.

I already broke one rule.

I can't afford to see what happens if I break anything else.

The phone unfortunately did ring.

The woman on the other line had a rather deep voice.

The first thing she told me to do was remove the clothing from my luggage and throw it all in the bathtub.

She then told me to find the hotel's Bible and tear out all the pages located in John.

I'm a religious woman.

I grew up with a Christian mother and a Catholic father.

Strange as this may sound to some, this truly did hurt more than it probably would anyone else.

I refused to find out what she would do to me if I disobeyed.

Lastly, she told me to open the mini fridge and remove all the beverages before placing them in a circle on the floor.

Her requests were definitely strange, but nonetheless I did them.

In fact, I would have done a handstand while upsetting the alphabet if she told me to.

Ridiculous as that sounds.
