Pay the $500

Araceli was tempted to do it, but she decided that this was going to just be a relaxing vacation, not one filled with rowing a boat.

“I’m fine, thank you.” Araceli said as she handed the man 4 $100 dollar bills, a $50, a $20, and 3 $10s. She carried her overnight bag to the cabin she was directed to and plopped down on the bed exhausted. She fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.

When Araceli woke, one thing was on her mind. Food. She immediately got up and left her room, and found a crew member.

“Excuse me sir, do you have the time, as well as directions to the cafeteria?” Araceli asked, being as polite as she could.

“I say is 9 PM, and cafeteria down there.”

Araceli followed where he pointed and thanked him. English clearly wasn’t his first language. Araceli couldn’t believe she had slept for 6 hours. She entered the cafeteria and ordered a rum and coke as well as a pub burger. She instantly dove in, and she can’t help but notice that the rum and coke tastes a little off. Araceli chose to believe that it’s just a different type of rum. Araceli finished her burger and placed a $20 on the counter when she felt extremely tired.

‘That’s weird. I didn’t have a lot of **** and I just took a 6 hour nap.’ Araceli thought as she climbed the stairs. She walked across the deck, and in her confused state, she walked down the wrong flight of stairs. Araceli wondered why so many women were in her room that was suddenly a lot bigger when she passed out.
