There is a huge amount of hustle and bustle at the front desk. I wait my turn in line and eventually register and get my room key. I stare at the room number. “I’m on the 13th Floor?” I say in surprise. “I was under the impression that hotels didn’t have a 13th floor! How unlucky…”

I make my way to the elevator and press the number 13 button. Slowly the elevator rises up.
