“Here’s your room – there’s your view of the Alps.
On good days you can see the Zugspitze.
Did you see it on the way? There’s one place
around Fernpass where you can see it. I see,
you didn’t stop there. Here’s the bathroom,
please use the toilet brush. There’s hot water
in the mornings. Breakfast from 7 to 10
in the cellar or on the terrace on sunny days.
Tomorrow won’t be sunny, going by the forecast.
And tomorrow you plan to be where? Merano?
Well, then, good night.”

Lends itself quite well to inside out for napowrimo #4.

Love the lively chit-chat of nonsense! Un-communication at its best!
I used to own a motel and can totally relate to this! well done!
nice words..my partner is from Switzerland....so will show her
I found this the most difficult of the prompts so far. I like your take on it. The one-sided conversation is a clever structure. Thank you for sharing this.
