And as we know of such thriller flicks, they check in a room and have a horrible night, finding it hard to check out.<\/p>\n<p>It made me wonder what I would do if in their shoes. The answer is simple, though not very comfortable. Since the car is too far and dangerous to return to in the dark, it shouldn&#8217;t be returned to. And since the motel doesn&#8217;t seem quite right, while it does offer some shelter, why not stay just outside it, or at the lobby? If a threat comes from without, run in a room. If a threat comes from within, run out. There you have it. A &#8216;Middle Path&#8217; solution. There is no need to enter too deep or exit too far.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the movie &#8216;Vacancy&#8217;, a couple were urged by circumstances, of their car breaking down in the middle of nowhere&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[26],"tags":[118,513,58],"class_list":["post-13820","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-movies","tag-fear","tag-middle-path","tag-wisdom","wpcat-26-id"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/moonpointer.com\/new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13820","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/moonpointer.com\/new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/moonpointer.com\/new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/moonpointer.com\/new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/moonpointer.com\/new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13820"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/moonpointer.com\/new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13820\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/moonpointer.com\/new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13820"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/moonpointer.com\/new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13820"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/moonpointer.com\/new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13820"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
