The Last Checkout at the All-Nite Grocery

December 1998. The All-Nite Grocery on Route 9 outside Millbrook, New York — a fluorescent-lit box of a store where nothing much ever happened. Until the night the woman in the long coat came through the automatic doors at 2:47 AM and asked for a pack of cigarettes she didn't smoke. Luna worked the register that winter. She remembers the cold air that followed the woman inside, remember how the woman's eyes never blinked, and remembers the list — six items written on yellow paper in a hand that looked like it had been traced over and over until the paper wore thin. The woman came back every night for two weeks. Same time. Same list. Same too-slow walk to the back aisle where the canned vegetables sat. Luna never saw her leave. The security footage showed the front door opening, but never closing. #AllNiteGrocery #Millbrook #Route9 #December1998 #Luna #lateShift #repeatingcustomer #yellowpaper #cannedvegetables #securityfootage #dread #fluorescentlight #wintercold #smalltown #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #SideB #Anthology Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
