I hear you're looking for surreal. OK, here goes. Man walks into his hotel
room in Chiang Rai after eatng a cheeseburger for which he was marginally
overcharged but allowed his waiter to get away with it after proving that both
were mistaken by about 30 cents either side and slowly perusing dessert options
which ritual necessarily included gently correcting the lady who assumed he
could not read Thai but which event nevertheless did preclude his patronage of
her stand and entering therefore with hot honey milk in hand is sorely
disappointed to note the absence of his luggage which engenders a stream of
thoughts along the lines of -goddamn it's inconvenient to lose that netbook,
guess I really will be living on the XO now but comparing the value of the
bag's contents to what he willingly surrendered to his last ex-wife both before
and after their marriage it's really inconsequential, perhaps as the delta in
cheeseburger costs pales in comparison to the price of the netbook although in
all honesty that exact thought does not occur to him at that exact time and
then he notices certain oddities about the room, that absolutely
everything is gone and that the bed is now made although he had prone-meditated
or napped as you prefer earlier which leads to questions about the maid or the
hotel staff but thereupon he notices that the view is also unfamiliar
whereupon an examination of the room number reveals a discrepency and this fact
to the further revelation that one key, evidently, opens all.
