A few stories people tell about this place

1. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the gas station, unaware that something strange was brewing inside. As he popped open the cooler door, a familiar voice called out from behind the counter: 'Hey, pal—you got any of those glow-in-the-dark Slurpees left?' The delivery driver turned around and saw nobody. ‘Huh,’ he thought, reaching for his last bottle of water. Then, from the shadows, a friendly voice said, “Hey, man—don’t you remember? I love your truck!” The driver smiled, realizing it was just an overactive imagination. He paid for his water and left, never mentioning the encounter to anyone.

2. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the gas station, puzzled by an odd sign in the window: ‘Closed for Secret Meeting.’ He knocked on the door, and an old man peered out suspiciously. 'Delivery,' he said. The man nodded, whispered something into his walkie-talkie, then motioned him inside. Turns out it was a meeting of local cat lovers—everyone had brought their pets! The delivery guy left with a bag full of treats and a new friend, a stray kitten named Eleven.

3. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the gas station, curious why the neon sign kept flashing ‘OPEN’ despite no cars in sight. As he approached the counter, he noticed an old man dozing off in a chair behind it. Startled awake, the man mumbled something about needing more coffee before his shift ended. The delivery driver paid for his gas with a smile and left, never realizing that he’d just become the late-night neighbor’s only customer of the day.

4. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the gas station, confused as he saw an old man standing by the pumps, muttering, ‘Why won’t you open for just five more minutes?’ The delivery driver shook his head and smiled. ‘Sir, I’ve been here since seven,’ he said gently. The old man looked up, startled, then laughed softly. ‘Ah, young man,’ he muttered, ‘I must be losing my mind. It’s always eleven.’ With that, he turned and walked back into the dark night, leaving the driver to wonder if maybe everyone in town was just a little sleep-deprived.
