I've been on holidays for two days now, in a hotel near the beach. Everything was okay until weird things started happening.
This afternoon I was reading in my room's balcony when I heard that the door was opening. I'm alone on these holidays.
The first thing I thought was the usually in these cases, it would be someone from room service.
Other times this has already happened. Today, at least, I would be caught with my pants on.
But no: when I entered the room, I found a tall and slim, very nervous man, moving from side to side.
I freaked out a little. He moved fast, seemed to register the room or look for something, I dunno. I have spoken to him and he looked at me.
There I was a little less afraid, because when we looked at each other it doesn't look liked aggressive to me but disoriented.
It was a sad look.
I approached to him and he grabbed me by the arm, he began to speak very quickly without looking away, but I did not understand anything.
At first it seemed like a language I could not guess, but then I started to recognize words.
It was Spanish but completely disorganized. Some phrases began with the words in their place, but quickly they were dislocated.
Like a very fast Yoda, running over himself when talking. I tried to calm him down, but it has not helped much.
He shouted something to me, he turned around and before he left, I noticed he had a card like the one I have to enter the room.
A card like this one.
I put the latch on and sat for a moment on the couch. After a while I hid things of value and went down to reception.
I have explained to them what happened. I told them the first thing I thought, that maybe it was a previous guest from that same room.
They've explained to me that is weird, but not impossible. Everytime a guest leaves the hotel they reset the access to his room but maybe...
...the one who took care of his checkout forgot that part of the process. This assuming that it was exactly that, a hotel customer.
I described his appearance to them, but it has no characteristic features. Tall, slender, short hair, a bit tanned by the sun.
The girl who was attending to me told me to turn around, that he was behind me.
And, oh boy, he was there. Half of those who were at that time in reception fit that description. We laughed a little.
To make sure it doesn't happen again she changed the card and reset of the access to my room. And I've been here since then.
But this is not the only weird thing that happened to me today.
I have also lost this shirt.
I've went down to the hotel buffet and I have just came across the tall man. He's sitting here, having breakfast at another table.
As I passed by his side he greeted me and apologized. This time I understood him because he spoke quietly, putting each word in its place.
He says he entered into my room by mistake, that he is staying in another one of this same hotel and sorry for the fright.
"Do not worry, it's all right" he repeated several times with a smile on his face that could not be more artificial.
Anyway, I don't know. He almost gave me worse vibe now than yesterday when he came into my room crazed.
At least, yesterday he looked like a person. Today he looks like a robot.
Im going to try to take a picture of him.
Ok is this guy
