Lost & Found: a short story

Orchard Haze, a war-orphan, has won a prize. One night's stay in the luxurious Homar Heritage Hotel. Staying in a real hotel is a completely new experience for her. Her night in the hotel was most certainly an experience, but not in any way that could have been predicted. LOST & FOUND, is the first short story I. M. Gerhi wrote in 2024. I. M. Gerhi is the pen name Gerhi Janse van Vuuren used to publish his fiction.
As a former high school teacher, Gerhi is also a fine art painter. I. M. Gerhi lives in Randburg, Gauteng, in sunny South Africa, with his wife, two sons, and two cats.
