The Motel Clerk at the Crossroads of 61 and 84
from Last Bus Out of Town — Fexingo Horror · host Fexingo
Luna recalls a night in late October 2017 when her bus made an unscheduled stop at a motel outside Mineral Wells, West Virginia. The clerk at the front desk was an old man named Elias who moved like he was underwater and spoke like he hadn't used his voice in years. He gave her a key to a room that didn't exist, and when she tried to give it back, he told her about the woman who had stayed there the night before. Luna listened as he described a guest who checked in and left nothing behind but a wet footprint on the bathroom tile and a name that wasn't on the register. She sat in the lobby until dawn, watching the clock tick backward, and when she finally left, Elias was gone and a fresh pot of coffee was sitting on the counter with two cups. One of them was still warm. #MotelClerk #Crossroads61and84 #MineralWells #WestVirginia #LateOctober #UnscheduledStop #RoomThatDoesntExist #Elias #WetFootprint #BackwardClock #FreshCoffee #TwoCups #Greyhound #MidnightBus #LastBusOutOfTown #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #Anthology Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
