A few stories people tell about this place
1. At night, near Tom Thumb Express, a regular heard an odd humming sound. It wasn’t like anything he’d ever noticed before—more like an old-fashioned radio playing far too loud. Curious, he walked closer and saw a delivery driver adjusting something under the hood of his truck. The humming grew louder as they fiddled with wires, until finally it stopped—and so did everyone’s heart for a moment. Turns out, it was just an old CB radio from the driver's childhood that had accidentally been left on full blast.
2. At dawn, when most gas stations are quiet, a delivery driver pulled up to Tom Thumb Express and noticed something strange. The pump nozzle seemed to be glowing softly in the pre-dawn light. Curious, he approached closer—only to realize it was just an old lamp from the station’s junk pile, reflecting early-morning sunbeams. With a laugh, he went inside, where an elderly clerk asked him if he’d seen any ghosts yet. ‘Nope,’ said the delivery driver, ‘just an old lamp.’ The clerk smiled and replied, ‘That’s good, son. We don’t want any spooky stories around here!’
3. At dusk, while filling up at Tom Thumb Express, a neighbor noticed something strange: every time he pumped gas, the nozzle seemed to whisper his name. Finally, one night after midnight fill-up, our hero heard his wife’s voice calling from inside: ‘Honey, why are you talking to that gas pump?’ Turns out, it was just the wind rustling through the trees outside. Moral of the story? Don’t trust whispering gas nozzles—or your own imagination.’
4. At midnight, as a delivery driver pulled up to Tom Thumb Express for a quick fill-up, he swore he saw a shadowy figure ducking behind one of the pumps. Curious, he glanced around but saw nothing. Just as he was about to leave, he heard a soft giggle from behind him. Turning back, he noticed an old lady smiling sweetly and pumping gas next to her car. ‘I’ve been here longer than you,’ she said with a twinkle in her eye. The delivery driver laughed it off, realizing it was just another late-night adventure at Tom Thumb Express.
