## Resource

A slow-burn horror episode set in the summer of 2004 at the Wagon Wheel Inn, a rundown motel just outside the dried-up town of Marlow, Oklahoma. Luna recounts the story of a night clerk named Delia, who worked the graveyard shift alone and began to hear faint voices seeping through the plaster and wallpaper of room 14. At first, she thought it was the air conditioner or the TV in an empty room. But the voices grew clearer, repeating fragments of conversations she'd never heard, conversations that seemed to be about her. When she finally opened the locked door of room 14 at 3:33 AM, she found no one inside — only a single lamp flickering, and a cassette tape lying on the bed, still warm. The episode ends with Delia sitting in the office, the tape in her hand, the walls humming softly around her, and Luna leaving the listener with a quiet, unresolved dread. #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #TheLanternAnthology #MarlowOklahoma #WagonWheelInn #MotelHorror #NightClerk #Room14 #WhisperingWalls #CassetteTape #3AM #Summer2004 #SmallTownHorror #IsolationHorror #LunaReads #SlowBurn #AtmosphericHorror #UnresolvedDread Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
