Middleton Motor Lodge used to be a nice place to stay, back when the mother road was the only way to get from Upperton to Lowerton.  Now, with an interstate that bypasses it, the once-cozy, clean overnight stay has changed hands a dozen times.  What was once a vacationer’s go-to while staying in Colorado’s southern Rocky Mountains has been reduced to little more than a sleazy, hourly-rate motel on the outskirts of Middleton.

Having gotten out of the ticket booth minutes after the theater’s midnight matinee, Zita is already running late for her audition.  Who does an audition at eleven o’clock at night, anyway?  Pulling into the dusty, pothole-filled parking lot, she grimaces at the state of the locale.  Broken, half-empty vending machines, a rusty chain-link fence surrounding a now-filled-in-with-dirt swimming pool, and trash everywhere. Who does an audition at a scummy, out-of-the-way fleabag motel like this?

Zita steps out of her car, making a point of hitting the lock button on her remote - twice.  Trying not to make eye contact with what she assumes are actual prostitutes lurking about, the Latina makes her way to the room number she’s been given.  A quick knock, her head swiveling for potential robbers and rapists, and the door opens to a familiar face.

Zita: ¡Oh, gracias a Dios!

Yep, looks like there's gonna be a new chica in the Tweebs stable...at the $5 tier level. :D
