Daisy’s Golden Warning (A High-Altitude Horror Story)
Breckenridge, Colorado.
Thin air, chapped lips,
nose dry as a forgotten raisin.
The mountains were perfect—
until nightfall.
I check into Gravity House.
Expensive as hell,
but for some reason,
stacked with six bunk beds.
A different bed every night,
like some twisted game show.
But me?
I stick to the same one.
My one constant in this frozen alpine nightmare.
It’s late.
Lights out.
I peel back the covers, ready to crash—
"RUFF! RUFF! RUFF!"
Daisy.
Standing guard.
Eyes locked on me.
Serious. Determined.
A warning in her bark—
like an air raid siren before disaster.
"What the hell are you barking about?"
I pull the sheet back.
The crime is revealed.
Dead center of the mattress.
A perfectly executed piss puddle.
A bullseye of betrayal.
And yet—
this time,
she told me.
"I pissed! I pissed! I pissed!"
"Don’t get in the bed! You’re gonna get pissed on!"
A moral dilemma.
Do I scold her?
Or do I respect the honesty?
Daisy just stares.
Unashamed.
A pug with nothing to hide.
I sigh.
Peel the sheets off.
Find another goddamn bunk.
Because in the end,
at least she warned me.
That’s trust.
That’s friendship.
That’s Daisy.
