The Exchange

By Oliver Kane

Years after the fact, one man recalls the haunting events of his first bartending job.

The Gold Exchange, a looming relic of the Gold Rush era, stands proudly in a small city in Colorado. Once a bustling hub of trade, now a grand old hotel, it exudes the mystery and faded luxury of another age. Locals call it a monument. Devin calls it a paycheck.
Behind the bar, Devin learns the ropes, forges friendships, and falls in love. But beneath the ornate ceilings and polished brass lies something ancient and incomprehensible-a slithering entity of stone, illusion, and void. Older than the building. Older than the bedrock itself.
As Devin slips deeper into the hotel's grip, reality begins to unravel. Friends change. Time bends. And a voice older than memory whispers from the walls.
You don't leave the Gold Exchange.
Not whole.
