There was nothing out of the ordinary for the hotel lobby. People were coming and going in their daily activities. If no one noticed, besides the man behind the counter, that a light colored duffle bag suddenly appeared out of thin air near a table, the occupants could be excused. Their minds had been on other things including embarrassing things that had recently occurred.

An idle thought of what might be inside, if anyone gave it a thought, was likely to be wrong. It didn't house supplies or anything that could be of use to the people stranded in the quirky hotel. It did house something that could be of use, just not what was expected.
