Gas station

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the gas station’s lights were dimmed, a regular noticed that the reflection in the pump glass changed shape whenever a child approached the pumps. No one else seemed to notice. One evening, a delivery driver mentioned it casually to a neighbor who happened to work there. The next day, everyone was staring at their own reflections while pumping gas—until they realized kids were just playing with shadows on the ground. Since then, the gas station became known for its ‘moving shadow show,’ and customers brought their kids specifically to see it.

2. One morning, a little boy walked into the gas station and asked for directions. The attendant pointed towards the highway, but something caught the kid's eye—a strange shadow moving behind the pump. Curious, the boy approached the pump, only to discover it was just an old cat stretching. The attendant laughed and said, ‘That’s Mr. Whiskers—he hangs out here every morning.’ The boy nodded, smiling, as he left with his newfound knowledge. The end.

3. One day, while filling up his truck, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the gas station's parking lot. Among the usual clutter of empty soda cans and discarded newspapers lay an old, dusty suitcase. The delivery driver picked it up curiously, wondering whose it could be. Inside was just an old photo album filled with pictures of a long-forgotten family reunion. Turns out, it belonged to an elderly neighbor who often stopped for coffee there. She had left it years ago and never missed it until now. The whole town laughed when she finally came back to claim her lost treasure.

4. Late one night, as the gas station attendant was winding down for the evening, an unfamiliar voice crackled over the intercom: ‘Fill my tank with whatever you’ve got—just make sure it’s not ordinary.’ The attendant raised an eyebrow but did as requested, filling up the truck's tank with premium gasoline. As he finished, a familiar face appeared from behind the wheel—a neighborhood mechanic who always drove a different vehicle each time he stopped by. 'Just wanted to try something special tonight,' chuckled the mechanic. The attendant shook his head and smiled, knowing that some customers were just as unpredictable as their cars.
