Alon

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dusk, when Alon’s neon sign flickered on, a young boy passing by stopped in his tracks. The pet dog trotting beside him yanked its leash, straining to peer inside. Inside, the gas station attendant noticed nothing unusual—just another day at work. Suddenly, from behind the counter emerged an old cat, lazily stretching and yawning. The dog, seeing this feline apparition, went wild with excitement, pulling so hard that its owner had to run after it, shouting, ‘Alon, calm down!’ The whole scene was captured by a delivery driver on their phone, who later posted it online under the caption: “Alon’s late-night customer service.”

2. At midnight, when Alon’s gas pumps glowed like distant stars, a delivery driver pulled up for a quick fill-up. As he approached the pump, he noticed something odd—every time he looked into his rearview mirror, his reflection seemed to be standing behind him. Curious, he turned around—and saw no one. Just as quickly, his reflection vanished from the mirror too. The delivery driver shrugged it off, filled up his tank, and drove away whistling. Only later did he realize that his reflection had been trying to warn him about the empty gas gauge in the car behind him.

3. At dawn, when Alon’s parking lot was emptying, a delivery driver noticed something odd in one of the abandoned shopping carts. A small, glittering object caught his eye—a silver key with no apparent home. Curious, he pocketed the key and went inside, only to discover that it fit perfectly into an old-fashioned lock on the staffroom door. Turns out, someone had left it there years ago. From then on, whenever anyone lost their keys, they’d just ask ‘the mysterious Alon guy,’ who always showed up with a smile and a joke—even if he wasn’t actually there.

4. At sunset, when Alon’s pumps reflected golden rays, a neighbor remarked, ‘I swear, every time I pass here, that gas pump seems to wink!’ One evening, a delivery driver pulled up and asked curiously, ‘Does this place really have talking pumps?’ A nearby attendant grinned, shrugged his shoulders, and replied, ‘Nah, just an old gas station with some character.’ The neighbor overheard and shook his head, muttering under his breath, ‘Next thing you know, they’ll be selling magic gas!’
