Last line: ..hope that the centuries-old curse put on the town by the canine god Anubis had now been lifted. @BestWesternGB #BWBestSeller
Story time will run from Monday 20th June until Monday 4th July when we will (hopefully) have a complete short story!
The completed Twitter short story will be printed in the next edition of our Do Not Disturb In-hotel Magazine and one lucky story teller will be picked at random from all entries over the 2 week period to win a 2 night dinner, bed and breakfast break in a Best Western hotel.
