## Resource

It's November 1999, just after midnight, and the All-Nite Diner on the border of Marston County is empty except for one waitress and the man in booth seven. He orders coffee but never drinks it, stares out the window at the dead strip of highway, and speaks in a voice that sounds like it's coming from somewhere else. The waitress—my cousin Ellie—thought she'd seen every kind of lonely the road could bring. But that night, she learned there are some hungers even a full cup of coffee can't touch. The man didn't ask for directions, didn't tip, didn't leave a name. He just sat, and the air around him got colder as the hour got later. Ellie told me the story over the phone the next morning, and her voice shook in places she didn't mean it to. This is what happens when you're the last person awake in a building that's not supposed to be there. #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #LonelyChapter #AllNiteDiner #MarstonCounty #Ellie #BoothSeven #November1999 #MidnightShift #NothingInside #Hunger #RoadHorror #SmallTown #Waitress #Unsettling #Alone #DeadHighway #LunaReads Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
