Hotel California

A Short Story

By: Davina Rush

Narrated by: Tom Jordan

On a dark desert highway, hidden from sight, there is a place that exists just beyond the shadows. A place that calls to the broken, the lost, and the tormented who wander the desolate roads of night. Temptation to leave the world behind presents itself as a beautiful seductress offering a variety of exquisite pleasures, luring you further into the dream. But elegant parties and pretty faces quickly dissolve into the stuff of nightmares as the door closes and the feast begins. Welcoming smiles become gnashing teeth in a prison of your own making, the gilded cage devouring everything it receives. And still, I hear those voices calling me from somewhere far away, you can check out anytime you like, but no one ever leaves the Hotel California.

A thrilling short story that does a brilliant play on lyrics

Hotel California is a thrilling short story that does a brilliant play on the lyrics of the well-loved song by that name. I really enjoyed the author’s take on the lyrics. I’ve always had an image in my own mind of what the song meant, and I think rendition is much more entertaining – I love the ending. Tom Jordan’s voice lent is a depth and imagery that transported me into this magical world with credulity. What a great short story – I thoroughly recommend it.

Overall fantastic!

I loved getting a full story to a classic song! Great narration too! I would love to find more stories like this one.
