Chilling tales for dark nights. The

The Good evening, and welcome to chilling tales for dark nights.

I'm your host this evening, Jeff Sturdivant, filling in for Steve Taylor.

Tonight's story takes us to a lonely gas station in the dead of night,

where the quiet hours between customers are broken by a battered stranger,

a warning scratched in blood, and a handful of coins that should have never changed hands.

So settle in, dim the lights.

The show is about to begin.
