About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the Shell station closed its doors, a strange voice began crackling over the intercom. ‘Fill her up with stars tonight,’ it whispered in a deep, mysterious tone. One night, an old neighbor pulled up and asked, ‘What does “fill her up with stars” mean?’ The attendant shrugged and replied, ‘No idea, but I bet she’ll love it!’ And so, every night after that, the Shell station became a place where cars were filled not only with gas but also with laughter—and maybe just a few extra stars for good measure.

2. Late one evening, a little girl pointed excitedly into the empty Shell gas station lot. ‘Mommy,’ she whispered, ‘I saw a ghost filling up my toy car!’ Her mother looked around suspiciously but saw nothing. Smiling gently, she said, 'Honey, maybe it was just the wind playing tricks on us.' The little girl nodded thoughtfully and ran off to join her friends, leaving behind only the faint scent of gasoline in the air. Since then, locals joke that the Shell station has its own invisible attendant who tops up toys for free.'

3. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to the Shell station and noticed something odd: the pump nozzle seemed to move slightly as if someone were filling an invisible car. Curious, he leaned in closer and saw nothing but empty road. Just then, an old neighbor walked by and asked why he was staring so intently. ‘I thought I saw gas being pumped into thin air!’ The neighbor laughed and replied, ‘That’s because it is—we’re in Russia, remember? It’s always getting filled up for free.’

4. In the early hours of dawn, a delivery driver pulled up to the Shell station for a quick fill-up. As he pumped gas, an old sign above the pumps caught his eye—a faded notice that read: ‘Last Fill-Ups Before Apocalypse.’ Curious, the driver glanced around but saw only the usual pre-dawn traffic. He chuckled and shrugged it off as a prank or someone’s joke. After filling up, he drove away, leaving behind him the last customer at the Shell station before… well, who knew? The next morning, however, the sign was gone, replaced by a fresh one advertising discounted coffee.
