A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Shell gas station, late one night, a delivery driver heard an eerie voice over the intercom: ‘Fill your tank with moonlight tonight.’ Curious, he did—and ever since, customers claim their cars run smoother after midnight. One morning, a regular stopped by and asked if they could top off his tank with sunshine instead. The attendant shrugged and filled it up. That day, everyone in town noticed how cheerfully his car drove—even when empty!

2. At Shell gas station, one morning after a heavy rain, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the parking lot—a mysterious umbrella left behind, its handle engraved with words no one had seen before. Curious, he picked it up and read: ‘To my faithful friend, always dry.’ Turns out, it was his neighbor’s umbrella, who’d forgotten it again—and now everyone at the station jokes that Shell has magical properties against wet shoes.

3. At Shell gas station, on a quiet Sunday afternoon, a little girl pointed excitedly at something in the sky and whispered, ‘Daddy, look! It’s talking to us!’ The father squinted into the sun and shook his head, smiling. ‘Honey,’ he said gently, ‘it’s just an airplane.’ But as they watched, everyone else at the gas station started pointing too—even the old delivery driver from down the street joined in. Turns out, it was one of those vintage planes doing a low flyover for the town festival, and soon enough, the whole family was cheering and waving back.

4. At Shell gas station, in the early hours of dawn, a sleepy attendant heard a whispering voice from behind the pumps: ‘Fill her up with stars tonight.’ Curious, he glanced around but saw no one. Suddenly, an old truck pulled up next to him, and an amused delivery driver leaned out and said, 'Just do it, kid!' The next morning, when the attendant filled his own car, he found tiny glitter scattered inside—stars for a starry night fill-up.
