I did not leave.

It took me another four months and a subpoena, and I did not choose it in the end, and I will not be claiming that I did.

Aurelio Pastrana wrote an incident report.

Hotels require it; a guest went down on the floor and a staff member was present.

That report is one page.

It gives the time, the location, the guest’s name, and the account given by the guest’s companion, which is recorded as: guest caught heel on carpet transition, declined medical assistance, assisted to room by companion and bellman.

It sat in a hotel’s risk management system for fourteen months.
