2. At Murphy Express, something unusual began one quiet night when a delivery driver noticed that every fifth gallon of gas seemed to disappear without a trace. The delivery driver mentioned it to no one but his dog, who yawned and went back to sleep. Word slowly spread among locals, until everyone was stopping by Murphy Express just to get their ‘lucky’ fifth gallon. A neighborhood joke soon turned into a friendly competition—who could fill up on the magic gas first? And then, one morning, the sign outside read: ‘Out of Luck—Come Back Tomorrow!’

Curious, he approached the source and found nothing but a small radio left on by mistake. The humming stopped as soon as he switched it off, leaving everyone laughing over coffee later that evening. Turns out, Murphy Express was just a place where strange things happened—and sometimes they were as simple as an old radio.

The delivery driver laughed, realizing he’d been spooked by a familiar face after all.
