Let's Play A Game Post 3: Penguins, Racecar, Hotel

All right bloggers, this one was a bit random too but I'm an author so what better way to meet this challenge then with a story?

Once upon a time there was a penguin who drove a racecar. Mr. Penguin decided to go on vacation so he found the Iceberg Hotel online and was very excited about his upcoming trip. When the day finally came Mr. Penguin got in his racecar (which was not street legal) and drove to his hotel. He couldn't wait to slip and slide down the ice ramp and maybe even shoot down the black ice tunnel that was supposed to go at super sonic speeds! But when he went inside he was appalled to find that the hotel didn't have any other penguins inside but a lot of stuck-up seals!

"You can't stay in our hotel!" The lofty seal concierge told him, "There are no penguins allowed!"

"But what about the ice slide and the black ice tunnel?" Mr. Penguin asked.

"Those are for Seal children," the seal told him haughtily. "Not for penguins like yourself."

A very sad Mr. Penguin walked away, climbing back in his racecar sure that his special vacation was ruined. But he was so sad that he wasn't paying any attention to where he was driving so instead of getting on the road that would take him back home he ended up haplessly lost in some town he'd never even heard of before!

Quite certain that this vacation couldn't get any worse Mr. Penguin started looking for a place to ask directions. But then lo and behold, what a wondrous sight! Mr. Penguin saw a sign for a racetrack up ahead! Immediately he started towards the track, wondering if his vacation might be saved after all!

Pulling off the road he turned down the dirt driveway but he was shocked by the sight in front of him, for there was not just a racetrack but also an Ice Castles hotel! And wouldn't you know it but there was an ice slide even taller then the one at the Iceberg Hotel and they had lots of black ice tunnels, not just one, they even had a diving ramp to slide off of into the icy pool!

Mr. Penguin was so excited, he got to race all evening then go back to his hotel to play on the slid and tunnels before going to sleep on his perfectly chilled iceberg then getting up in the morning to do it all over again.

The End
