The Motel 6 was marginally less welcoming at night. Approximately the same number of cars filled the lot as earlier today but now they occupied spaces under the various street lamps. I pulled the dead taxi into a space by the front office and went inside to check in. The front desk clerk did not comment on my lack of overnight belongings. He handed me the key to room 137 and told me it was next to the ice machine (and that I couldn’t miss it). I found the gift shop (a corner of the lobby) and purchased a toothbrush, toothpaste, and a new sweatshirt that said I Got Tied Up In Ribbon! across the chest in fuzzy white letters.

I left the office and sought my room. The desk clerk had been right about the ice machine. The unit was set off by a glowing blue sign with ICE spelled out in eighteen-inch-tall letters. I bet you could see it from the street. The machine made an erratic electric buzzing sound. Bzzzt. Bzzzt. Clunk. Bzzzzzzzt. I unlocked my door and was about to enter when somebody grabbed me from behind.
