I hope you enjoy this quick tale. And if you have a short story of your own, or wish to become a host yourself, please reach out: bnbtales@gmail.com

The tale begins with the host enjoying his time in the study, relaxing wearing a robe, sitting on a comfortable couch while reading a book and having a cup of hot coffee.
A new message notification is heard and the host picks up his phone to check it.
The message reads: "Hello Sir, I would like to book your cheapest bedroom for a month or two. I am very clean and easy to deal with. I work at night and sleep during the day, so I'm super quiet. And I eat out everyday so don't worry about any kitchen mess. I guarantee you will have no complaints. I will be your easiest guest ever!"
The host thinks it almost sounds too good to be true but business is business and clicks on his phone screen confirms the booking.

The check-in date has arrived and the guest is arriving, carrying a couple of bags and a map in his hands. He looks lost and confused looking in all directions as he approaches the house, until he finally stops in front of the door and rings the doorbell.
The door opens and the host greets the guest saying "Welcome! Please let me show you to your room." The guest walks in and the host closes the door.

Both men are now in the bedroom and continue talking:

Guest: "That is a nice bedroom, thank you. However I would like to ask you for extra shades for the window because I work at night and sleep during the day."

Host: "There are blinds on the window but if you need the room to be completely dark during the day I would recommend wearing a sleep mask."

Guest: "That is a great idea. Do you have one for me?"

Host: "It is a personal item but I might have unused ones from past flights. I will bring it to you."

Guest: "Thank you so much! Much appreciated."

The host comes back and raises his hand to knock on the bedroom door but before he can, the door opens up and the guest is standing there:

Guest: "Oh, I'm glad you are here. I was going to ask you for a bottle of water.".

Host: "Here is your sleep mask. As for water, you can help yourself from the kitchen tap."

Guest: "Gotcha! Thank you.".

Host: “You are welcome.” and turns to leave

Guest: "One more thing. Can I have an extra blanket and pillows, please?".

Host: "There are extra blankets and pillows in your closet. Feel free to use them."

Guest: "Gotcha! Thank you." and closes the door.

The host is cooking dinner as the guest approaches quietly and stands behind him really close. A couple of seconds pass and the host turns and sees the guest, gets scared and says "My friend, you scare me like that. Please!"

Guest: "Oh, sorry. It smells so good. Yummy!"

Host: "Thank you."

Guest: "Could I have some food?"

Host: "Unfortunately we don't provide meals. You can order in or buy your food from one of the three nearby supermarkets."

Guest: "Gotcha! Thank you."

The host is now sitting in the living room watching TV as the guest walks in and sits on the couch next to him. The host looks surprised and asks if he needs some help:

Guest: "Sure, what are you watching? Can you start over so I can watch?".

Host: "Would you also like some snacks to enjoy my movie in my living room?"

Guest: "Do you have something cheesy?"

The host looks down with hands on his hands in a show of despair and exhaustion and thinks it was indeed too good to be true.
