The Christmas Tree Lot on Route 9

December 1998. A small tree lot on a forgotten stretch of Route 9 in upstate New York. Luna stops for a tree on the way to her mother's house, but the old man running the lot seems to know too much. He offers her a tree that was never cut. It's still rooted. He says it's been waiting for her. The lot closes at midnight, but the lights stay on. Luna drives away with something in her back seat that she can't look at directly. The smell of pine fills the car, but it's too sweet. And the needles are still wet with soil. #ChristmasTreeLot #Route9 #UpstateNewYork #December1998 #TheOldMan #RootedTree #PineSmell #Midnight #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #Anthology #LastBusOutOfTown #Luna #SmallTownHorror #Atmospheric #SlowBurn #WinterHorror #UnresolvedEnding #BusHorror #NightBus Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
