The+Landlady

The Landlady is about a young adult who is from London, on a business trip in Bath. Since he arrived late at night, he needed to find a cheap place to stay. His first intention was a pub, but once he saw the sign for this Bed and Breakfast, he was immediately drawn in. The Landlady greets him immediately and welcomes him in. Billy is asked to sign the guestbook, while signing it, he notices two names that look rather familiar. He later realizes where he had heard them. Billy gets settled in his room while the Landlady makes them some tea. He comes down to drink it, as the landlady is bringing it to him, she is holding it above her head, implying that the tea is spiked, or poisoned. Remembering the names in the Guest Book, Billy starts to get suspicious as he remembers the names, but the landlady tries to distract him. They start talking, while drinking tea, about Christopher Mulholland and Gregory Temple. Billy asks if there have been any other guests that have stayed there in the past 2-3 years, but the landlady says, "Only you."
