From the archive

I rarely succumb to the quiet theft of hotel amenities, but who could walk away from a gilded form like this? It embodies the word fable in all its metallic might, cold in the palm and needle-sharp. Yet beneath the gleam lay a subtle betrayal, a stinging reminder of time's shift that left a distinctly bittersweet aftertaste.
