An Invitation

I got an invitation to a stag night out to a hotel in the country. It was for the two of us but my wife could not go, so she said, "You go". "Okay ", I said.
       The name of the hotel which was called The Old Cottage Inn was on the invitation. It was a weekend stay. The phone rang, I said "Hello". It was Tam. He said, "There will be a bus on Friday night at six pm at the west end". It was a long drive to get there. It was about eight thirty when we got to the hotel.

      At Old Cottage Inn Hotel it looked like an old castle and the front door was so big, it had two archway windows. We got to our rooms and settled in. The porter said, "Dinner will be served at nine pm down in the big hall". While I was looking out the window I saw another bus arriving.
       We went to the big hall where the dinner was served. I was amazed at the size of the hall. It was huge and ancient but difficult to describe. The manager was in the hall; he was so tall and had an evil look in his eyes. When I asked him how old the hotel was he told me it was fifteen hundred years old. He said, "The party is about to start".
       At the bar I was talking to Tam. The party was in swing and the music was great. It was getting late and everybody was enjoying themselves. I was still at the bar. I looked around but there were no staff in the hall. The clock struck twelve and the music stopped and the lights went off. In the darkness the door swung open with a loud bang and everybody was running and screaming and crying.
