The Seven Wonders of the World Hotel

I was delighted to hear that my submission, The Seven Wonders of the World Hotel, was ‘highly commended’.

The Seven Wonders of the World Hotel is about about what happens to Max, the site supervisor on the Intergalactic Hotels project, on a Saturn’s Day night when he’s called out to investigate a problem near Sector 3B, The Hanging Gardens of Babylon.
