Heed, weary wanderers of the new millennium, for the end times seem nigh. Behold, a season of sinister serpents lurks in the shadows of your joyous journeys, death is imminent.
The mighty overlords of aerial chariots and humble abodes, trembling in the wake of the merciless plague, have spun webs of deceit to reclaim their golden hoards. Invisible shackles, they cast upon thee with each seemingly thrifty offering, their goal is naught but to drain thy coffers, the hourglass empties.
Once innocent freeholds and sky-bound vessels, now repositories of deception, draped in enticing visages. Charges unseen, lying in ambush in thy cart of commerce; resort tributes, baggage taxes, choicest seat monies, all conspiring to thieve thy hard-earned gold at the transaction's twilight, the bells toll.
This maddening maze of commerce, dubbed 'unbundling' in the common tongue, is no recent beast, but an old demon wearing a new mask. The plague times have but emboldened these fiends. Baggage fees, charges for preferred seating, they've multiplied under our very noses. The serpent of resort fees, dishing out daily handfuls of silver for meager amenities, has become the new normal, the night is dark and full of terrors.
As you tread the treacherous rapids of digital travel, I implore thee, open thine eyes and let not the allure of cheap glamour ensnare you. But alas, who will drive the cold steel of truth into this beast? Who will stand a hero in these desperate times, as the storm threatens to engulf us all?
