The Penny at Lonesome Pine Station

It was autumn of 2021 when I stopped at Lonesome Pine Station, a half-abandoned gas stop on County Road 17 outside of Mercy, West Virginia. The air smelled of pine needles and stale coffee. The girl behind the counter had a hollow look, like she hadn't slept in a week. She told me about the customer who comes every night at 1:17 AM, pays with an old silver penny, and leaves a receipt that reads the same message every time. She showed me the stack of receipts in the back. They all say the same thing. I stayed that night to see for myself. What I saw made me drive nine hours without stopping, and I still check the rearview mirror every few minutes when the road is empty. This is what I saw that night. #TheTreeline #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #LonesomePineStation #MercyWestVirginia #CountyRoad17 #silverpenny #receipt #1:17AM #gasstation #autumn2021 #Luna #solo #anthology #midwestgothic #appalachianhorror #roadhorror #unfinishedbusiness Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
