The Ski Rental Room
The Black Void - Episode 24
|
What am I doing here, wandering down a random hallway after stepping out
of the ladies room? I was supposed to be looking for ski equipment for my
upcoming trip with my local ski club. But I stopped at the food store to
get food for my dog, Fido, so my eight year old neighbor, Chad, can feed
him
while I am gone. At the food store, I had to
take a rest room detour! Really.
I continue down the hallway until I stumble across a sign that reads Ski Rental Area, with another sign that reads To skiing area. Well, maybe renting a pair of skis and such may help me actually save money if I want to return them afterwards, even though I had fun skiing downhill the last time I went. So I enter the Ski Rental Area. A nice tall, slim, handsome guy greets me. "Hi there, young lady. How can I help you?" "Well, I was looking for a pair of skis, poles and stuff to buy, but would renting them be cheaper?" "At our ski resort, you are not permitted to bring your own skis - you are required to use our equipment. We offer a fine selection of skis, poles and other stuff for downhill skiing, cross-country skiing, water skiing, mud skiing as well as air skiing. Which skiing activity interests you?" "Mud skiing?" I say, startled. "Yes, that fad seems to be dying down. More people are now interested in air skiing - basically, you strap on a set of skis and we attach you to an airplane and you basically glide your way through the air." "Air skiing?" I mutter. "Sounds like fun." I wonder if I should try these new types of skiing or if I really should find my way back home and buy my own ski equipment. But how do I explain to this man how I ended up here? Sigh, too many thoughts on my mind. What should I do?
