The Wrong Turn


Elton “E” Scooter is a drifter, riding his electric scooter through the outskirts of town, delivering food late at night. He thrives in the quiet of abandoned streets, enjoying the eerie solitude.
But on this particular night, a storm brews overhead, and his usual route is blocked. Desperate to finish his shift, he takes a back road he's never seen before. The air grows unnaturally cold, and
his GPS glitches, refusing to load directions. The deeper he rides, the more unfamiliar the surroundings become—streetlights flicker, and the world feels oddly distant.


Suddenly, he spots an old gas station, its neon sign barely flickering. It looks abandoned, yet the doors stand slightly ajar. Curious, he steps inside, drawn by an unsettling silence. As he moves
through the dust-covered aisles, a sound echoes—a whisper, followed by the faint revving of an engine outside.Elton rushes back to his scooter, but his heart stops—his ride is gone, and in its
place, deep tire marks lead into the darkness of the road ahead. He is no longer on any map. He has taken the first step onto Dead Man’s Routes.

The Gas Station Secret


Elton freezes as the bloodshot eye stares at him through the cracked door. The voice calling his name sounds strangely familiar, but he can’t place it. Summoning his courage, he pushes the door
open—only to find nothing behind it but an old storage room filled with dust and rotting supplies. As he steps inside, the door slams shut behind him. The room is pitch black. Suddenly, an old
radio crackles to life on a nearby shelf, playing a news report from October 12, 1987—the same date as the newspaper. It describes a triple murder at this very gas station. Three men—Johnny, Brody,
and Eddy—were found dead, their bodies mangled beyond recognition.The report abruptly cuts off, replaced by the eerie sound of static and distant breathing. Elton stumbles backward, knocking over a
shelf. As the dust settles, he notices something buried in the floorboards—a rusted metal box with his own name carved into it.Terrified and confused, he pries the box open. Inside is a polaroid
photograph of himself as a child, standing in front of the very same gas station—with the three murdered men. Elton has no memory of ever being here before.Then, from the radio, a distorted voice
speaks: "It was never an accident, Elton. You were always meant to come back."

reflection of himself, covered in blood. His mind fractures as memories begin to surface—memories of this place, of the men in the polaroid, and of something terrible that happened here. The thing
in the dark gets closer. Just as it reaches him, Elton crashes through a rotting door—and finds himself back in the gas station. But something is different. The world outside is not the same as
before.
