The All-Night Grocery on County Line Road

Luna finds herself at a fluorescent-lit grocery store off a dark stretch of County Line Road, somewhere in the rural Midwest, just past midnight in late October. The town is called Meridian — a name that’s easy to miss on the map. She stops for coffee and a bag of chips, but the cashier, an old man with a nametag that reads 'Mr. November', tells her the store has been closed for eleven years. The shelves are full, the refrigerators hum, and the milk cartons all carry the same expiration date. He speaks to her like he’s been waiting for someone to listen. Luna is the first customer he’s had since the county repaved the road. The conversation drifts into why he stays, why the lights never go out, and what happens to a place that nobody remembers anymore. By the time she leaves, the parking lot has fewer cars than when she arrived — but the reflection in the store window shows more than just her own face. A quiet, slow-burn episode about obligation, disappearance, and the spaces that keep running long after everyone has gone home. #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #LastBusOutOfTown #AnthologyHorror #AllNightGrocery #MeridianIndiana #LateOctober #MrNovember #Luna #SoloNarrative #AtmosphericHorror #SlowBurn #SmallTownHorror #MidnightEncounter #StoreThatNeverCloses #ExpiredMilk #ElevenYears #RoadsideHorror Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
