Summary

Luna takes a late-night shift at the Penrose Diner outside Mercer, Pennsylvania, in October of 2008. The regulars are sparse, the coffee is weak, and the waitress before her left a cryptic note taped under the register: 'Watch the change.' Luna thinks it's a warning about the till. She's wrong. Through the graveyard hours, she watches a man in a grey coat count and recount coins at the counter, his totals never matching—and the numbers start to mean something else. A story about ledger lines and the quiet horror of being the one who keeps score. #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #PenroseDiner #MercerPennsylvania #Luna #NightShift #GraveyardShift #TheChange #CoffinFactory #Coffer #October2008 #LedgerLines #DinerHorror #SmallTown #RitualCounting #HushedDread #IntimateHorror #Anthology Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
