The Night the Gas Station Lights Stayed On

It was late summer of 2003, just past midnight, when I pulled off at the Gas 'N Go on Route 9 outside of Bakersville. The place looked normal enough—fluorescent hum, a single pump lit up, a clerk behind the bulletproof glass who didn't blink. But the longer I stood there, the more I noticed the details that didn't add up. The same song playing on a loop on the radio. The expiration dates on the snacks. The way the clerk's mouth moved when he spoke, a half-second behind the words. And then I saw the phone on the counter, off the hook, with a voice still talking on the other end. This is a story about places that forget to close, and the people who get forgotten inside them. #DeadZoneRadio #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #Route9 #Bakersville #GasAndGo #LateShift #Luna #SoloNarration #AtmosphericHorror #SlowBurn #SmallTownHorror #GasStation #TheClerk #LoopingSong #PhoneOffTheHook #Midnight #Summer2003 Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
