The Call from the Motel Vending Machine in the Storm

It's the last week of October 2019, and a freak ice storm has shut down half of Route 9 in eastern Nebraska. Luna is working the overnight shift when a call comes in from a vending machine—specifically, the one in the breezeway of the Pine Ridge Motel outside Ogallala. The caller is a man named Dale, and he's not calling about a stuck bag of chips. He's trapped in the machine's coin-return cavity—not physically, but something else. Something that speaks through the soda cans. Something that knows his name and the name of the little girl he lost in the Platte River fifteen years ago. Luna listens as the machine begins to inventory its own contents in a voice that sounds like crushed aluminum and old syrup. By the time help arrives, there's no one there. But the machine has a new selection: a can of something called 'Dale's Last Sip.' No label. No pull tab. Just a name and a date. #PineRidgeMotel #Ogallala #Nebraska #Route9 #IceStorm #VendingMachine #CoinReturn #DaleHarper #PlatteRiver #LostChild #Annie #SodaCan #CrushedAluminum #NoPullTab #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #911HoldMusic #Anthology Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
