Habit

Also this hotel in Hinterzarten has the charming habit of putting a chocolate on the pillow in their rooms.
I must have been extremely tired last night. I forgot to eat my chocolate and the next morning I woke up and I noticed that some of the chocolate stuck on my back.
The next thing I noticed was that the sheets where covered with stains of melted chocolate. It looked as if I had had a severe diarrhea attack.
My sense of guilt was great. I could only think: the chamber maid will hate me.
