Prescription Compounds

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when most pharmacies are still locked tight, an old man shuffled into Prescription Compounds. He wore a long overcoat despite the warm summer breeze. The old man approached the counter and asked for aspirin. The pharmacist raised an eyebrow but nodded towards the back room. Moments later, the old man emerged with a small bag and a smile, muttering something about his ‘special prescription.’ As he left, the pharmacist shook his head and whispered to no one in particular, ‘Another day, another mystery from our regular.’

2. One morning, while stocking shelves, a young employee noticed something peculiar in the backroom—a mysterious bottle labeled only ‘Special Order’. Curiosity got the better of her. She opened it cautiously and found… cough syrup? But why was it so old and dusty? Turns out, an elderly neighbor had ordered it decades ago for his grandson’s cold, forgot about it, and nobody dared touch it since then. The whole place erupted in laughter when she told everyone.

3. At closing time, an elderly woman approached the counter with a mysterious smile. ‘I’d like my usual,’ she whispered, glancing around nervously. The pharmacist nodded and began preparing the bottle. As he did so, a delivery driver knocked on the door, interrupting them both. With a sigh, the old lady muttered, 'Just my luck,' then giggled softly and said, 'Better hurry, I don’t want it to get cold.'

4. Late one night, as the moon lit up the empty streets, a delivery driver pulled up to Prescription Compounds. Unloading boxes from the truck, he heard a soft hum coming from inside. Curious, he peered through the window and saw an old pharmacist dancing to some strange music on his radio. ‘What in tarnation,’ thought the driver, but then noticed a familiar face waving at him from behind the counter—his own next-door neighbor. ‘Hey there!’ she grinned. ‘Just testing out my new prescription for insomnia.’
