Hygge, Relief, Starlight


The Starlight Motel & Lounge, located off Highway 37 in Somewhere, USA, was a rundown relic of 1950s auto travel. Its 52 rooms suffered from cold, damp, and mold. The accompanying miniature golf course was overgrown, rotting, and weatherworn.

To Edward, it represented something that could become warm and welcoming, provide someplace to go for locals, and relief from the usual humdrum of the town’s two sketchy bars and one diner. It could be hygge (as his Danish friends liked to say).

Local contractors already hired, he needed no publicity to make it known the Starlight’s glory would shine again.
