## Resource

When Luna stops for gas outside Stonewall, Mississippi, the station attendant warns her not to visit the old funeral home on Miller's Lane — a place that was closed years ago, yet where lights have been seen flickering at midnight. But a cold rain is falling, and the detour leads her to a building that isn't as empty as it should be. Inside, she finds an open ledger, a set of freshly polished brass handles, and a coffin that wasn't there an hour ago. Every detail is specific: the smell of formaldehyde and wet soil, the creak of a floorboard beneath a worn Persian rug, the sound of a single note from a piano in an adjoining room. This is a story about what we leave unfinished, and who comes back to settle it — not with violence, but with a quiet request that can't be refused. The mortician, a man named Elroy Caldwell, appears in the doorway holding a name card for a woman who died in 1959. The question Luna can't answer: was he waiting for her, or for someone else entirely? #StonewallMississippi #ElroyCaldwell #TheThirdCoffin #Miller'sLane #FuneralHomeHorror #Undertaking #MississippiDelta #MidnightRain #Coffin #Ledger #BrassHandles #PersianRug #PianoNote #1959 #UnfinishedBusiness #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #LanternAnthology Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
